Is this a red devil?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
So I just got him. Definitely not a red devil it has no visible lips to speak of. I will post more pics when I get home and gets acclimated. He is stripped now due to stress. These pics are to show the color he is a beautiful yellow. The bag makes his shape look distorted he is not mbuna shaped his shape is shown better in the OP. I just noticed he has a red stripe down his dorsal like a JD.

The first pic is him begging to come home lol :) he is one of the more aggressive ones.

Being that petsmart sells both red texas and flowerhorns I would guess it is one of these but a clearer pic is needed for us to help nail it down. Both of these hybrid fish often have red eyes. I live up in washington state and bought a flowerhorn that came into them as a jack dempsey. They knew what it was and laughed because policy said leave it in with what it was labeled as. It was killing the jd's off one at a time until i got it for 4.99.

Now that I see the red line and it has the red eyes I am really wondering if it is some sort of flower horn. I know nothing about flowerhorns except the are hybrids and are very aggressive. This guy was the most aggressive in the tank. one thing is for sure I agree he is a mutt of some kind.
 
I have a Texas flower mutt I got from petsmart that some what resembles yours

Do you have any pics of it? I am curious to see how it might turn out.
 
I dont mind a fish from anywhere at all as long as the fish is what I want.
 
Here some pics I just took uploadfromtaptalk1396035934126.jpguploadfromtaptalk1396035947288.jpguploadfromtaptalk1396035978538.jpg
As far as temperament goes its personable. Doesn't start fights nor does it run from them. It is lowest on the hierarchy though. Currently in a 90 with a young male Blackbelt 3x ifs size , female midevil twice it's size and a female salvini.

Thanks for taking those pics. That stock list is a good reason for it not to start fight lol. How old and how big is he?

I am putting mine in a 75 with a Texas, Green terror, and Firemouth that are just a little bigger. A severum that is much bigger an and another green terror that is much bigger. This is just the grow out tank.
