Can anyone suggest something that I can put in with my red devil. I have had him for three years now. He is between 8-10 inches long. I have tried oscars but he brutalized them pretty bad. I was thinking maybe a jaguar cichlid with him. He is in a 75 gallon by himself now. I also wanted to see if anyone could suggest a scavenger to put in with him.
 
I don't think that he will accept any tankmates in his 75g, and I don't think that he is of a disposition to accept any tankmates period.
 
I think your right. I was hoping to find something for him because I hate just having one fish in a tank. Getting rid of him is out of the question because my wife and I are kind of attached to him.
 
I know the feeling because I have been thinking about the same thing for my future Dovii set-up, but, luckily for the both of us, our (in my case, theoretical) fish are very interesting on their own and make great pets.
 
yea the RD will pretty much kill anything that is not as big and aggressive so probably just about nothing can go in the tank without being killed.
 
hey I have a female thats 12 inch maybe we can go take them for a walk in the park. I have been trying to teach her to sit for 5years and play nice with other fish but she just will not listen.
 
in a 75 probably not even a pleco for very long. I had a large dominant male reign over a female midas, a buttikoferi, and a carpinte in a 220gallon, eventually he and his mate were the only fish in the tank which eventually led to him being traded away for some nics
 
playing nice

maybe if a put a muzzle on her like a pitbull she will not attack when not commanded to. I don't know what to call her because she is not hetero or homosexual she just doesn't like nothing or no one not even me. But I'm thinking about investing in a 375g and adding my 10inch male dovii and see how she likes that. That would be a awesome mixe breed of fry but to bad it will never happen!!
