hi guys
here it gows.........One of my first fish was a red devil, i got her as a juvi, when i bought her i was reasonably young and didnt know anything about her, however the pet store manager assured me that she would do well in my 55g community..... well she did for a while until she became a bit more aggressive that is so after doing some research i managed to pick up a 220g tank and over the years have built up an impressive collection of cichlids and oddballs with her, however she has been giving allot of trouble to my jag recently so i purchased a smaller 170g tank for her . I then moved her back with the jag after a few months as he had recovered an claimed some terratry, she didn't like her new tank much either as there weren't many hiding places. as the tank was empty i bought a clarious catfish to fill it, they are very rare here. so after a while my red devil began to beat up my jag again so i moved her back in the other tank with the catfish, which is almost 3 times her size. Ahter coming back in about half an hour they are fighting and going mad, neither of them was giving up and were causing serious damage to each other so i quickly moved her into the 55g guppy tank and then built a rock wall down the middle of the tank separating the two fish. Know today i was at my lfs and saw that they had some other fish from the amphlophus family that were closely related to red devils, i forgot their names but here they are super rare so i got one and put it with my rd in her half of the tank, and u guessed it she started picking on him, it wasn't that bad but i decided to put her back in the guppy tank for a while anyway just for precautions i then started doing some research and found out that if i got a few more devils ( 3 or 4) they would cancel out each others aggression, so i have decides to sell my catfish, take out the rock wall that i built get a few more devils and put them all in the tank together, hopefully they will pair up and breed, DO U GUYS THINK THIS WILL WORK?
