jardini and red devil

[Mustbehi]

so i was wondering if i can put the 2 together the jardini is about 5 to 6 inches and the red devil is 7 to 8 inches in a 55 gallon?

Red Devils are evil and ruthless when they are the leaders of the tank so the other fish should be larger

I wouldn't do it. I think you will be missing a jardini here very soon.

alright thanks

 

[peewee]

a perfect recipe for disaster.

Perhaps if you bought a tank big enough to house the jardini for more than a couple of months you could try it...

No way, RD would Kill the Jardini. Also, 55 is too small for both, even if they could co-exist in same tank. Agree with previous post, a recipe for disaster. But at least you are doing the right thing and getting advice. Good luck! Jardinis are so awesome!

I don't recommend you trying it. Those larger Central American cichlids are very aggressive and will eventually kill the jardini dispite jardinis being aggressive. A 55 gallon tank is way too small to house an arowana.

Here you go, a 6.5" jardini with a 12" Red devil in a 48" x 13" x 14" tank
