My Red Devil killed my smaller Tiger Oscar :(

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Lol that was inevitable bro. Sad that lfs never would say anything to hinder the process of selection. Get rid of red devil ASAP. It's like a flowerhorn in a tank with other cichlids. Outcome? :P
 
Cichlid noobs finding out the hard way....

Is that so? I've seen them living together in numerous tanks. How is that noob? The Red Devil was in a tank with a variety of other cichlids (including a Tiger Oscar) and the guy at the lfs store even recommended that I take him when I was going to pick a Jack Dempsey or Tiger Oscar. You can keep your useless comments to yourself.

And thank you to everyone else that had a useful input. :screwy:
 
And to Sarertnoc Kram: You can call whatever you'd like.

It's funny how people are so quick to jump the gun.

@ecoli73: That is what I was thinking. With the upgrade, I'm not actually going to be getting rid of my 55 gallon; I am actually going to keep that for the Red Devil to live in solitary confinement. :x The larger tank will be for the Oscars, and I'll probably get a Albino Tiger like I have always wanted. Thanks for your input and suggestion.

You can see them together either alot younger or in ALOT bigger of a tank with ALOT more other fish and ALOT of hiding places... Making agresssive cichlid tanks is an art and requires a huge tank... I had a red devil even hold ground with my jag !

Here's the advice: don't listen to the guy at the lfs. You should went with Jack Dempsey instead of the demonic red devil. Also don't get upset when someone called you a noob. But you are noob and should've research on red devil first before buying it. Well now you have red devil killing your oscars and it's not shocking news to us. Your red devil does what other red devils do.
