i was thinking of getting a male with her, shes 8 inchs by the way
Oh, it's a female? Hmm . . . if you wanna go male, either get one that's much larger and use a partial divider, or get one that's smaller and still use a partial divider.

:O:O:O:O what about a pacu:) or a freashwater barracuda
No tankmates in the 75, period. Unless you plan to breed it using a partial divider, other than that, you're not gonna get away with anything in that small of a tank if you couldn't do it in a 180.

Also, FYI, Pacu get 3 ft long. So unless you are looking to invest in a 1000 gallon tank some time in the not too distant future, don't get one.
 
I had the same problem with my red devil. I ended up putting a breeding pair of convicts in with him and it all worked out ok. I made sure they had a bunch of rocks to dart off to just in case the devil snapped. You could tell the devil almost respected the male convict, because he thought he was bill bad *** with his flairing up etc. Every RD that I have had seem to respect other aggressive fish, even if they are much smaller than the RD.
