looks like he was chewed up a little while ago but looks good now give him clean water and a good diet and it will be a great fish i would add some sand or dark gravel dark colors bring out there reds also don't know if its a hybrid but i has some devil in it but looks like a nice red devil don't think its a hybrid but it can be hard to tell useually you have to wait till they mature

yea, he was in a 30 gallon with about 15 red devils his size seems like there was allot of aggression in there. i only had him for about 2 days now and he still seems shy when i feed him hikari gold hopefully he just has to get use to the pellets.

Yeah my RD juvi loves to aquascape, they are for the most part diggers. Besides giving them substrate to dig in, it may give them something else to mess with beside the heaters (getting the visi-therm brand is a plus) and filter intakes.

i just added black background and some gravel, i cant wait to see him start digging =D

thank you for your replys
 
most likely a hybrid, but does look alot like a true RD. buy some gravel dude.
 
nice. looks like it has more RD than midas to me.
 
thx guys! hes great, but i had him for about 3 days and he still dosnt go rite after the pellets (hakari gold) when i feed him. he only eats the pellets when the water from the filter pushes the pellets down and then he'll swim and eat it. what should i do? is this a thing that he will grow out of?
 
If you want a true devil, your best bet is Rapps. You probably have a hybrid, heavy on the devil genetics though. He looks good either way.
