DISASTER

[cichlid savage]

My first attempt at fish breeding ends in disaster. I was watching my Red Devils so closely and they seemed to be getting along well. Anyway, I went back to work and came home 16 hrs later to the RD I thought was a male having been OWNED by the RD I think is a female. I pulled him out of the tank and put him in a hospital tank, added a lil salt and raised the temp to about 80. 16 hrs later he was dead. he was almost 10.5 inches. R.I.P. Luke.

A lot of red devils with large humps that I thought were male, ended up being female. But red devils of any sex seem to fight unless they are a proven pair and even then they still scrap.

That's rough man. It was a great looking fish too. Sorry for your loss

I'm sorry to hear this - he was a nice fish.

It is a shame and sorry. But this is an example that not all male and females are compatible and most importantly is that it is much better to raise 3 or more young ones together and let them pair up on their own.

I agreee shadow but I thought I would take a chance. Should have tried it earlier in my vacation so I could keep a better eye on them. I blew it this time.

Wasn't trying to be critical or anything just showing an example to newbies.

It always sucks losing fish, espcially when you spent so long growing them out.

He was a good lookin' brute too.
