[kido]

hey guys, i'm looking for a really nice, striking and predominantly red fish that grows to at least 12".. it could be either ancient fishes, cichlids, characins anything but it has to have very nice red colors.. any suggestions?

Some of the flowerhorn cichlids have lots of red. If you don't mind a dark shade of orange, get a midas or red devil. All of these are full of personality.

The red texas is a good looking candidate.
