Red devil tank mates

[Lasersailer]

Hey guys!
I am very experienced in cichlids but I need some help! I have a 55 gallon tank with one large red devil cichlid. He is very aggressive but I really want another tank mate with him. I'm thinking a small arowana or something but I'm afraid the red devil will eat them... Any ideas I'm open to all suggestions!

Don't add anything if he is very aggressive. If you do decide to add something you will need to pay very close attention to the tank. Because in any size tank it does not take long for one to kill another. Or you could get rid of the Red Devil.

If the arowana is usaully on top of the tank and red devil in the middle... That's why I'm thinking they might not bother eachother

Your tank is not big enough for the red devil.

Whatever you add will eventually become, how can I put this delicately, dead.

IMO A 55 gallon to small to add any tank mates for RD. The aggression level are high on them. I have a Midas/RD in a 75 gallon and because of his aggression he is alone in the tank. Far too aggressive to have tank mates in smaller tanks. You might be able to have tanks mates if the tank was alot bigger, maybe 120+ gallons.

The red devil will kill the arowana, and you tank is too small!!!

Okay well what fish can I get that is agressive and likes to follow me but can also be housed with other fish?

A pleco is the only thing you could possibly put in a 55SA/CA gallon with a RD long term!!!

Do u want aggressive feeder or territorial. That will make a major difference in what u can keep
