stunted reddevil ?

[large_cichlids]

I have a reddevil in a 75 gallon.Ive had it for almost a year and its still 5 inches at the most.do u think its stunted.

is it a male or female,if it's a female it may just be a slow grower but if it's a male i'd say it's stunted,but it shoulden't be in a 75,unless it was at the pet store in those small tanks for a long time

it is a female i know because it lays eggs.

 

[pumbus]

could be just a slow grower

U see i believe its stunted because i had it in a 29 gallon then i upgraded it around 4.5 inches.I had it for a year so it should be alot bigger.

do u still think its stunted

I think it is stunted, or the water quality is bad which will also = slow growth.

 

[large_cichlids]

so should i get rid of it

not if you stunted it!!! then you should keep it and let it live out it's life in a large tank with regular water changes to assure good quality water

Accept responsibility for what u did and give it a chance,
