Well since I am gonna keep my 6 inch Male Green Terror in a Large tank....Ive Been really wanting to buy a Red Devil....So tomorrow I am gonna buy a baby 3inch Red Devil to go with my 6inch Male Green Terror...I will grow the Red Devil out in a 60g with the 6inch GT....I dont really know about Red Devils but I am just wondering What size tank would I be eventually looking at for these two Fish? and also would they make good tankmates?
 
will if u want to make them monsters i would say a 120. and maybe you could grow them out to 18 inches if u were really luck. but they would be fine in the 60 gallon and probably grow to 8-12 inches. and you may expand, so it all comes down to what you really want in the end and if your a monster fish keeper there may be no end.

never owned a red devil not sure about max size etc. but I have had some huge green terrors.

18" huh? Hopefully that's a typo. You show me a devil over 15" or a GT over 13" and I'll send you my life savings (about $20).
 
they don't get that big, but the small rd will hold its own. eventually the gt will get bullied since its a real slow grower.
 
They will have issues before adulthood in a 60 gallon. How bad depends on the fish involved. Eventually you will want 120 or even better bigger for adults. Or you will have hiding fish and attacking fish.
 
ok..well the GT is 2 years old which I think he could be stunted from the previous owner....but Im not sure yet....If he doesnt grow in these next couple of months he will go in my 60g Convict and Firemouth tank....I really want a Red Devil though. I have a couple of options
 
Yeah that RD will be too much for that GT soon. Mean fish.
