Tank size for 2 red devils

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
2 is not likely to work out unless they are a pair. The dominant one is likely to kill the subdominant one, with nothing to distract him. 3 or 4 with some dithers would be a better bet, and I woud go for something in the 200+ gallon range for this. Of course, if a pair forms, they could possibly kill the others.

SIngle RD in a 90-125 gallon tank would be fine imo, and would be much easier to do.

Reactions: RD.
If you ever look up YouTube videos of rusty wessels fishhouse- he keeps a colony in a 180.
I believe they were raised together and it looks to be between 8-10 adults.
My male whipped out his 2 ladies in a 180- I attribute this to too few specimens.
The labiatus Rapps is selling now are from Rusty’s setup.
