Please answer the Tank size question. Most everyone here would hate for you to doom any fish you decide to get by throwing them in a tank not suitable for two fish. You realize that, in a small tank, your established RD will not allow any fish to recover from the initial stress, right? so you can get a Dovii and it will get killed. Also, two aggressive fish in a tank by themselves are very difficult to manage because the aggression will not be spread out. One will eventually kill the other.

If you do have a large enough tank, many of the fish mentioned on this thread would be well suited for your RD.

Good point. But maybe if we give the OP some time they might actually answer... They could be at work or something

yup its always fun :) and plus i just wanted to find a mean fish to put with my red devil im going with a wolf cichild for now im guna try it out

Why? Do you actually think that mean + mean = peaceful or even possible cohabitation? Or are you looking for them to battle?
 
imo 1. DOVII ( OF COURSE!) 2. GT (mine is a monster) 3. Yellow Labs (there small but mine 3.5" whipped a 6-7" oscar almost to death but he stopped finnaly) thats my opinion
 
I watched a T.Buttikoferi square off with a RBP and rip off it's bottom jaw.. it sucked when it happened but afterwards its a crazy story to tell.. happened to ronburgandy here, was MESSSSSED up. happened so fast
thats why Butti will always be on my list. along with a breeding Dovii, LOL NEVER mess with that.. you think Cons can get mean, OH boy.
