Not bothered. Just hate to see stuff like this happen. Hope everything works out for you. Send a picture of your tank in 6 months after the Red Devil kills everything in it.

Yeah no kidding,have to agree with you on that part.
 
Very nice! I love the orange and White markings!

Yep, they are buy far one of, if not the most, aggressive ciclhids you can own. I have seen them totally take over 300+ gallon tanks, bullying, if not outright killing, everything(not just cichlids) in the tank. The only 2 fish I can think of offhand that can compare might be the Umbriferum & the Black Belt. The person who owns this one, unfortunately, is just asking for trouble. Hey, just curious, what kind of cichlid is that in your avatar photo? Can't quite make it out due to flash glare.
Some of you guys keep mentioning that his other fish will be killed or eaten, which is most likely true. But the OP has already stated several times that he's not trying to keep this as a community tank. The other fish just couldn't be removed without dismantling his tank. He had no intentions of keeping them with the RD. I don't think he's asking for trouble since he does recognize that the other fish have a high risk of being killed. I'm not saying that the others aren't worth saving, but it is his tank to do as he pleases. he can't be forced to dismantle his tank and net the other fish. Constantly repeating the same thing is just derailing his thread. It's been said enough.
 
pretty sick lookin gotta say on a scale 1-10 I would give it a 10+
 
Nice.. I'm surprised that it's so difficult to get them where u live.. I had a pairs breed in the past and can't get rid of them fast enough. Even neighborhood lfs's in my area don't want them as they are overstock with them as well.
