I have it in a 75 now by its self when I first got it was in a 55 for a short time like 3 weeks and then the 75 from there. I always felt it was a female but just wasnt positive.
 
looks like a hybrid to me, def not a pure red devil the lips aren't pointy enough.


Red devils have really really pointy really huge lips, midas are more rounded.


Here are some pics for example from Jeff Rapps website tangledupincichlids.com

3 are red devil (labiatus) 1 is midas (citrinellus)

ok I understand they get like 12"+ but your telling me mine isnt even close. I realize how big red devils get mine is at 8 in that picture and if you ask me thats pretty close and you said it wasnt even close. Maybe I misunderstood you but it made it seem like you are trying to make a joke out of me.

Nope, not at all ;) Just making sure if you were it was full grown you were told wrong. It is still medium size. Your fish is pretty and I was/am only trying to help. Your RD is bigger than mine :)
