MY Big Very Old Red Devil........... Big, Bad and Old....

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Really impressive and amazing fish .my previous paratilapia polleni was 6 when i parted with it, and reading this really helps reinforce the notion that these fish are pets and part of your life just as a dog or any other animal

i raised horses and dogs through my life.. very hard to part with them... but it was the same with each and every creature i considered a pet.. i have a screaming parrot i adopted 12 years ago.. sometimes i think... wonder if i could .........but no out of the question....... i love her .. and regardless of her annoying behavior.. she is my little girl..........lol.. i take good care of her.. all pets deserve this.. our fish our turtles all of them.. the only time it will change if i have no choice.. when i am unable to care for them..thank you..
 
Fish is absolutely stunning Red Devil, good to see someone keeping fish long term. Once I get my own place and am able to keep a fish tank long term I hope to do the same thing. Can't say I haven't been rotating through fish a lot lately but I do have some reptiles that are getting some age to them. Once you grow attached to something it's hard to let them go.
 
Red devil, now forsure I will not part with my Devil lol, oh well just have to get another tank for my Istlanum Lol, your fish are lucky to have you as there owner! Great Job!

That's awesome that you've had him that long. I have a red devil that I've had for seven years. My daughter who was five at the time named him Pretty. lol He was peeling at the time, getting picked on by other fish, and wasn't looking pretty at all. He broke his jaw years back trying to catch an African cichlid that was living with him at the time. Lol I've thought about selling him over the years, but I can't, and never will. He's part of the family. I'm trying to breed him at the moment. :)
