Are there any Red Devil tankmates out there?(im sure this thread had been done to death)
Can Jaguar cichlids work?
What about Red terrors
 
I have a very docile RD, I keep herwith an Oscar and some cons. no problem.

that is the exception, though. the rule is, you can't keep much with an adult RD. maybe some cons or firemouths with plenty of hiding space.
 
^Dont have one yet the tank I have is a 55 gallon but that will be temporary and will probly end up with a 120-140

120-140 - Just my experience, I had success with salvinis, cons, jd's. Basically smaller sized cichlids that would not be competition for dominance.

I know posting twice no one has answered will Jags and red terrors be ok?


probably, but you never know until you get the individuals. your best bet might be to get several of each as youngins and pick out the less dominant individuals, to try and avoid future aggression.
