I saw a about 12 inch red devil at my lfs and I fell in love with it! what a great fish! do you think it will get along with my aggresive 4inch oscar and my 6 inch lima shovel nose? :rolleyes: or will it eat them like simple feeders :Angel: that would not be good. What do you guys think of the red d ?
 
red devils are very agressive cichlids, he might be ok with the cat, but the oscar, being small..might be in trouble with RD that size
 
Last RD I knew was in a 90g corner and was waaay too aggressive for any room mates. He was big enough that you wouldn't really want to add anything other than 1 big pleco or synodontis anyway (but this one lived alone).
 
i have a 135 gallon tank with 2 red devils/midas and there both about 8- 10 inches there very aggresive towards my other cihlids but all my other fish ar about 7- 10 iches so they can defend themselfs, it all depends on the kind you get because i seen some mellow ones which can be with other cichlids but i seen sum that are only kept allone my opinion is that i dont recomend you put it with you oscar its to small for it i have an oscar with mine and my oscar is aggressive also but he gets over powered by either one
 
never heard that one before, i feed mine live fish..never seen any aggression afterwards
