Trimac or Red Devil?

[Moshmarine]

I wanted to add one more fish to my 300 gallon and I was thinking either a small trimac or red devil, as the "boss" fish

The fish that are in the tank are as follows:

Silver Aro 8"
5 Silver Dollars 5"
2 Bala Sharks 8"
Jack Dempsey 6"
Jellybean Parrot 4"
Firemouth 4"
Bichir Senegalus 8"
Spotted Spiny Eel 24"
Common Pleco 8"

Which one should I choose? By the way, there are plenty of hiding spots in the tank in case the crap hits the fan

Personally, it would be the trimac. The thing is to get a "real" one, of either of the two.

I would go "real" trimac too.

what is the 'real' trimac ? and what is the 'fake' trimac?

i believe i have an Amphilophus Trimaculatus?

The real one ?

i would go with trimac. andri pogo i think you have a fake trimac...assuming ur fish is likely 4-5" it surely doesn't look like a trimac...more like a low grade FH.

I personally would go with the Red Devil .

I was never much of a fan of the Amphil family... until I got a couple Trimacs... now they are amongst my favorite fish... I had an RD once... it was okay...

 

[Frostyone]

That definately looks like a very low grade FH, not a real Trimac for sure

Trimac- But bothe fish have a lot of Personality. Below is my Male ! I will change different shades of Green depending on his mood. He is really not a glass banger. More of a Food Begger.
