Figured out why my 210 gallon tank has been so active lately.

Well I just figured out why the red devil is on one side of the tank and the rest of the fish are on the other. Also explains why there has been so much aggression the past couple of days.

As far as I know this is her first batch of eggs. I have also noticed that my Amphilophus Hogaboomurus has been extremely aggressive and chasing off everyone in the tank. Is it possible for those two to breed together?

ah niice!! keep us posted!

More then possible. Will likely end up as barred devils until about 7 inches, then turn gold/red. The red color in devils is incompletely dominant(one dose=late color change, double dose=early color change).

I love the big lips on that devil
what are you planning to do with the fry?

 

[scubasteve06]

It is totally possible, and that would explain the aggression.

That makes no sense genetically speaking.

I'm confused by that myself.

It made sense to me.

hes just saying that chances are it will show no color until larger size. not a true barred but smaller rds are grey with bars until they get bigger.
