What types or varients of RD's are out there?

[JESTERX626]

I seen some RD's with just a pure orange color, while some others half blotches of white in them also. Is there anymore and do any of them go by under different scientific names? If I get a RD from petsmart, what type or varient would that be? A common orange one?

I saw a Rd that's all white with a yellow face, what type/varient is that?!

there all all kinds of variants.to much to mention.Most rd sold these days are mixed with midas cichlid.If u want a pure nice rd,go to tangledupincichlids.comHe sell wild caught rd and other central american cichlids.here is my rd collection

I didnt know most of them were hybrids these days. If i get a purebred RD from jeffrapps. How much do you think shipping would be to Cali? If it's too expensive what other alternatives do I have to find an aggressive male RD? Are those hybrid RD/midas cichlids still aggressive or more mellow now?

here is a pick of a wild caught RD its not mine but I saved the picture.

WOW, that definately puts tha RED in red devil.

 

[bigsmooth]

you can get some purebreed red devils from CJexotics.com , they are located in the midwest so shipping would be cheaper than from TUIC, which is on the east coast.

Are purebred RD's more aggressive than the common RD/midas hybrids?

 

[ammerman19]

no Midas and Red Devil's are both very aggressive so their hybrids are still ver aggressive. If you want an agressive purebred get a Cichlasoma Trimaculatus from Rapps. Mean as hell and awesome looking fish
