What is the MInimal tank size for Red Devils? How big do they get? & any good tankmate suggestions? Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
 
75g minimum imho. Males get to be around 12 inches and females will be slightly smaller. The red devil will eventually want that tank all to itself so i would leave out tankmates.
 
If you have pure labiatus a pair, they will do fine in a 75g. If you have a hybrid mix with midas, a pair may get too big for a 75g, but a single fish could be kept.
 
1. - 75g so they have room to grow and turn around.
2. - 12" ussually
3. - None if your going with Bare Min. If you want to go to a 125g You might get away with a pair, or if a single some type of dither. Clown Loaches, Barks of some type, smaller cichlids like cons with proper hiding places.
