Usually my red devil when he see's me is all happy but he start acting all aggressive hitting my other cichlids and I started scolding him and he got all sad went into his cave it seems like he knew what I was telling him any of you have other stories?

I think they are compared to most fish. My HRP's have learned to use rocks to break pellets apart. They basically hold the pellet in their mouth and use the rock as leverage to tear a peice off.

i think the parental care,among other things,is part of what separates them from other fish.i think that they won't learn from punishing them,it won't help you there.he was just chasing the other fish who are competing for his food,territory,etc.
