Just get rid of the RD. What do you want, a single fish in a 150 or a community tank? Get rid of the RD and you can keep it a community tank. To me that seems like the easier option.

I don't see anything wrong with a single, cool, personable RD in a 150. There is no doubt that he will grow into that tank, which i think is suitable for one 12-14" aggressive cichlid. Some people will keep a cichlid that size in a 48"x18" tank, but I don't think that it usually does the fish justice.

A full grown RD most likely will defend a territory larger than 6' square in the wild.

If you like him, keep him.

im probably gonna end up returning the oscar after it heals in my friends tank but wat would be good tankmates for an rd that can stand their ground????

Maybe a female RD. A pair of RD's would be nice. That's what I would do if I were to keep the RD. But if you get rid of the RD you got alot more options.


The only problem with a pair of RD's is if they spawn you gotta do something with the babies.

i have mines in with a Jag ... their about 4 inches now . but the jag is da boss, i strongly suggest that you get a 6+ inch Jag and maybe a flowerhorn. good luck , don't waste 150G on one fish there over 1000+ cichlids out there maybe you'll like some africans ?
