Has anyone here successfully kept a Red Devil with an Oscar?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I think Im gonna go with the little oscar, I can almost guarentee the devil wont even notice him. Ill just see how it goes as he gets bigger. Did the same thing with 2 jacks, one of em is an 8 incher now and the devil hardly even knows they are in the same tank.
 
My guess is that as soon as your oscar is around the same size as the devil, the devil will become aggressive toward him.

Mark my words! J/k. That'd be my bet though.

I guess Im just wishing for the best, my devil and BS are the same size and they are very peaceful with each other.
 
my red devil beat my oscar within a inch of his life. at the time rd was only 5" the o was 8" or 9".the oscar lost one eye.and the rd has been living solo ever since.
 
All of my Red Devils are way to mean to allow an Oscar to live with them. Yours may or may not be that way since you keep him with some JDs, but look out later on, especially when that Red Devil gets big. Good Luck, people do keep them together with success and you will never know unless you try.
 
My RD and Oscar get along great. My RD maxed out at about 8" (she's still growing, but very slowly), and my O just caught up to her in size. there are no aggression problems. sometimes the RD looks like she's gonna bite, but they look more like love taps.

Of course, my RD isn't your regular RD, she's only 8", and very placid (except when she has eggs. that situation needs to be corrected as soon as its noticed).
