Just got my first Red Devil!

[HybridGS]

I have been trying to buy this guy for over a year, everytime i went into my local Maidenhead Aquatics they would say 'not for sale', finally i see him priced up for £30...i just had to get him! so i traded in all my other fish, hes sharing my 4ft with a pink convict and some catfish (raphael,syno, Gibbi plec)

He is total length 7", without tail around 6", already showing his character!

Meet Damon the Red Devil (Amphilophus Labiatus)

Will try and get some better pictures later, he is still a bit shy when i go near the tank.

Congratulations. IMO- every fish keeper should have a RD at one point & time.

im so pleased i finally got one, this is the first time i have ever seen one where i live in England in the 11 years i have been keeping Cichlids, and my town has 6 LFS's!

As soon as i saw him for sale, i traded in all my stock and got me a real wet pet

Congratulations on finely getting one. It's a nice looking fish and should make a fine wet pet. Good luck with it.

Thanks, will his colour change much more? hes a bit pale at the mo....or do they always change?

It's hard to tell, it'll probibly always be Orange and white but might get brighter once it's settled in and on a regular schedule of water changes and feedings. Again good luck with it.
