WC red devil breeding or solo tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
What are you looking for? I love to see breeding behavior but male amphilophus are better kept alone if you are looking for a glass banger. They make great parents but often male flip on their mates.
What size tank is it?
What will you do with the fry?
All of these things should be thought about and then just bail in and try it. As far as how many to order 4-5 if they can't be sexed if they can a lot of the time just one male and one female is all that's needed. Good luck!

I'm going to breed them by them selves the rest will go to a Lfs or I'll keep them until they are sexable and for started I'm going to breed them in a 55 and wen they get bigger I will put them in a 75

I think getting 6 juveniles or more is better if you can afford it. More numbers increases the chance of a compatible pair forming. If the pair is small, you could use a 55 or 75 for a short while. But once the pair gets larger a 75 will be too small. A lone adult male RD will make a 75 seem real tiny. With their amount of aggression, a larger tank is more suitable for a breeding pair. A 55 or 75 doesn't leave much space for a female to escape in the event that the male attacks her.

Well 6 is too much is 4 ok cause I just really need a female and male and with the chances I think 4 would produce atleast on female and one male

4 is fine. Get what you can afford. You should get a male and female from that group. Just keep in mind the tank space a large pair will require in the future. I hope everything works out for you.

What he has on his stock list are F1. This means their Parents are wild caught. They are just as good as wild caught( most argue that there are better and I agree) but they are captive bred. If he has wild caught red devils they aren't on his list that I saw. But they will be as legitimate as a wild caught labiatus.
