[scotth42]

they both have a longer face,and i will just be keeping 1 in my 65g i think i am going to return one back to the store my 65g is 48in long 18 and 18 will that not work for 1 devil i had a 10in oscar in there with no problems

65 kinda small for one, a 75 would be ok. mine are in a 220, they need space and visual barriers in order not to kill each other.

i would say your 65 would be ok for 1 so long as you dont try to keep anything with it, and make sure you keep excellant water quality.

yeah i got the both in there now but i'll be taking the duller one back and keeping the one that looks more like a devil i also will just keep 1 firemouth in my 30git seems he will fight any other fish i put in with him for a firemouth he's pretty mean. i re did my tank with sand for the devil with his vivid red on the white sand it looks good i hope his color don't fade i see no white at all just bright red. looks like the pics i see on here of the babys

Devils have a longer face and bigger lips, midas have flater faces.

devil

midas

Both of these are crosses rd/midas. Pure RD rarely develop a knochal like that its more just rounded and pure midas have a much flatter face.
