BREEDING RED DEVILS

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
If both being male can i expect them to always fight?
I currently keep them with: oscars,managuense,flowerhorn,
Jack Dempsey, RTC, RTCxTSN, endi. bichir,
All cichlids are around the same size,
both cats are a little less then a 12'' right now,
I really dont want to part with either one at all,
I named one sherbert and the other non sherbert,
If they are both males what would you expect
if i purchased more of them to try to get females?

1. Sounds like your tank is over stocked unless you have a 300g+
2. Get more tanks if you do not want to part with them or rearrange the tank. These skirmishes might get worse as times go on and they grow larger.
3. You don't want a breeding pair in with that group of fish. As soon as there is a pair established they will destroy everything else in the tank unless you have atleast a 300g tank.

I understand that you want to breed them, but don't get ahead of yourself. There is plenty of time. Also, if you got any of those from "Lucky Tropical" there is a chance they were from my old breeding pair and I have their big brother currently.
 
I have them all in a 275,
I still have (3) 110 gallon
and a 650 empty in my garage (i couldnt fit in into my house)

Sherbert is from a petsmart I bought as a baby I beleive around feb-march
of this year,
Non Sherbert came from Atlantis as an adult that was traded in I bought
at the late end of July area.

Its not that im anxious its just that I literally own 11 pairs of chichlids
and these ones being the only that have never bred. Also
Breeding wise I have no experience with Red Devils or sexing.
I currently have bredding pairs of Managuense,Jack Dempsey, Flowerhorns (3) pairs,
Dovii, Convicts (black and Pink), Darf Pike

With 100% accuracy I will seperate these guys and buy the oppisite
sex for everyone.

Thank You
