Red Devil Cichlid Care - Species Profile

[@paloaltoniner4816]

I love going back to your videos years later. You are a legend.

[@levimah8705]

the red devil is the most agresive fish when you grow it in captivity

[@chrissnow4877]

ADHD brother.... We get excited about the things we live to talk about... I have it also... support and love it... stay blessed brother

[@GouramiNatural]

It sounded like he said add

[@TheFakeyCakeMaker]

@@GouramiNatural More or less the same thing

[@TheFakeyCakeMaker]

Support and love! Fellow ADHDer here, once you learn to work with it, it's actually pretty damn awesome.

[@qwertyq4073]

Ive fallen in love with Reds a few months ago after a Petco employee accidentally sold one to me as a "Pink Flowerhorn", love your vids man keep it up

[@charlesjohnson5429]

It was most likely a fader flowerhorn.

[@timgodfrey4759]

I have a red devil, must be 13”+ I’ve had him 12 years, he kills plecos of all sizes very hard to keep anything in the tank with him including ornaments

[@dracoak8630]

If you want a tank mate with him.. put a turtle in there. I got 4 turtles in my tank with my big red devil

[@flaviodesignaquariums1690]

I hear you bro.i love 6ft tanks.

[@ernestturchi3954]

Needed a hobby and I have a red devil he's fairly young and I just came home and I noticed he's got some black marks on his top fin and like on the top of his door so fit in on the bottom he's got like these black marks could you let me know what it is

[@JonGarrood]

Great content but dude……… 8mins before we got to seeing the red devil…….

[@fwsynr]

My local pet smart sells them but they only have on in the tank they only sell them as 2-4 juveniles

[@luigigreen9823]

Hey Palmer do you use a wavemaker or a powerhead to add current in your monster tank?

[@fishrrelaxing9361]

Alberto Sadler I’m not Palmer but I use wavemakers with controllers.. you don’t gain much from a constant steady flow always of the same intensity in the same direction.. I recommend jabeo PP wavemakers.. you can pair two together and control them from one controller that comes with them for very reasonable cost compared to most.. I use the PP8 on all my tanks.. the smaller ones are only a couple dollars cheaper. The pp8 still flows 2100gph. The weak link is the controllers if you get them wet but they are cheap to replace. I used to use standard constant flow circulation pumps like the sunsun jvp110 (which is a great value and a workhorse long as you clean the impeller ever couple weeks) but I’ve come to learn constant flow makes for dead spots or bare spots where the water flow is high.. with wavemakers you can vary the flow to a random pattern so intensity and flow is always changing.. even at 2100gph I think mine use like 5 watts power lol.. technically the pp8 is rated for a 40-60g tank but that’s a saltwater raring.. I find two are about perfect on a 125 and 1 is more then enough for anything smaller but can be turned down. They make a pp4 and pp6 for smaller tanks but they are $42 or so and the pp8 has way more flow and only $48-49 lol

[@cichlids253]

Lol that was my hand every time I cleaned my big guys tank

[@Ace-wu4zm]

Okay what’s say a rbp both full grown, which would win?

[@slickchick5811]

like, why?

[@kevinjensen8785]

red devil would win, i had piranah and they were punks

[@GlasgowBandit]

Depending on what kind of piranha your talking about lol a lone Red Belly possibly unless it locks lips it's in big trouble but if it was a Black Piranha the Red Devil will be lunch

[@tyroneboggs1539]

How can you tell if your red devil is male or female

[@louiscastaldi8869]

Thanks for all the videos on your experiences with American cichlids. They are the best on you tube in my opinion. You linked to a video of a girl who had at least 7 or 8 nice sized red devils and midas in the same tank feeding. May have been two other hybrids in there. My question is did she raise all of them together from juveniles or did she add when they were already bigger? I have a 180 I'm getting ready to cycle and have one red devil in a 40 breeder about 8 to 9 inches now. I would like to move him to the 180 but obviously I want more than one fish in there? Would you recommend putting him in with multiple RD's and Midas? If yes how would I go about adding him and the others to the tank? And should they all be of equal size? Thanks, Louis

[@PalmerAquatics]

Louis Castaldi - not all were raised together. I have a ton of videos on how to control aggression. It can be done!

[@louiscastaldi8869]

Palmer Fish Q&A I believe it can be too! just not sure if I should put him in the tank first then add the others? Or add him last? I know you added a bunch to your tank and it dispersed the aggression.

[@jamalwalker2104]

My red devil is a calico color. He’s in the tank by himself.

[@leroyjacob2658]

how long red devil cichlids get colors

[@turtlegeeurbanturtleguy4820]

Awesome 🐟

[@mikehawk9397]

They go for about $7 for youngsters in Texas

[@markkrok5071]

Freddys and Montuguense are right after the Dovi . The whole Parachromis genre is way more aggressive

[@chrisdittmer5502]

My 5 star general killed a larger red tiger moto within 48 hrs. Ive also seen jags get punked by red terrors and red devils. Parachromis arent always most aggressive

[@cichlids253]

@@chrisdittmer5502 my trimac almost killed two jags so I agree with you and the jag was 13 inches

[@chrisdittmer5502]

My Freddy (f) x Umbee (m) hybrids have killed larger red terrors, 5 stars, and other aggressive species. Tho I think it's more the Umbee genes than Freddy.

I had a young red devil once. Too bad I didn't give him a chance to mature. Now I wish I had after looking at yours.

[@maryjaneme2675]

Beautiful fish!!

Where is the link for the mixed fish food?

Here’s the link. Sorry about that! amzn.to/2u3Ujah

[@thunderousshore6968]

I think the red devil would win against a piranha because piranhas are usually very timid unless they’re in large schools, so I think a singular red devil vs. a singular piranha, if that happened, then the red devil would probably win

[@dracoak8630]

Why u ain’t got no heater in there bro? Smh

[@King-kl4ij]

I think those are Midevils bro, the true red devil is so different. But anyway they are very nice.

[@metalwing750]

Love red terrors also

[@PalmerAquatics]

I’ve been looking for a red terror for a while now. Need to just order online

[@Thelastoldstock]

One on one . I'd go with a red devil over a piranha . I've owned both

[@GlasgowBandit]

Depending what kind of piranha lol

[@Ace-wu4zm]

Rbp vs rf both full grown?

[@walterrussell7584]

Hello from Michigan

[@TMAquatics]

You got that right. MN is rough for fish keepers. In the Twin Cities we have no decent LFS in the south metro. Have to drive to Quality Aquatics in a Circle Pines or Forest Lake. In addition, 90% of the hobbyists in this market keep Lake Malawi African Guppies 🤣. MAS (Minnesota Aquarium Society) should be renamed to MACS (Minnesota African Cichlid Society).

[@PalmerAquatics]

TM Aquatics OMG I love you hahahaha

[@PalmerAquatics]

So true!

[@Minneapolisgrown]

Nice Midevils. I personally wouldn’t recommend breeding midevils unless you sell them as such and not Red Devils.

[@zacharysmith2027]

You can keep a 90 gallon or 50 gallon tank full of Red Devils

[@AquariumKrib]

Wrong

[@sdabigboss]

$20 juvenile? I got mine for 5 bucks

[@mikehawk9397]

Do u have any Red Texas? I finally found a baby one just unsure what kind of red Texas yet.

[@PalmerAquatics]

I do have a red Texas! Very viscous fish!

[@wmfay81]

Show the fish bro.

[@sondercichlidaquariums4951]

Theres videos on here of labiatus kicking red bellies asses. I keep amphs and would put my money on the labiatus for unrelenting aggression. I get that the piranha has much more formidable teeth but they are skittish as hell. Maybe and only maybe would I ever bet on a red belly and that's in a pack when juvenile. I keep a male black diamond rhombues(black piranha) and whilst his jaws are way way more powerful I'd put my money on my dovii, even the females would would get my bet any day. Piranhas suck ass if you think your getting an aggressive bad ass fish think again. I only keep the rhomb to help cull unwanted fry

[@fwsynr]

I meant 2-4 inch

[@MrUnshyGuy]

$20 for a red devil? 😳 We sell them for 5.98 at my work as juveniles. I’d personally never pay 20 for one unless I knew the breeder and genetics behind it.

[@countsd1]

Here you can get a full grown Red Devil for $39

[@SunnyandNova]

I got one of Jeff Rapps free 😁

[@madisongriffin7419]

Out here in Ohio they go for $19.99 at pets smart. Larger Red Devils 8-10inchs might cost about $60- $100

What Facebook group you be in

[@PalmerAquatics]

Cold bold - ALL the fish ones pretty much. I admin like 10 of them too

[@freethoughts2898]

only FB?

[@michaeljohnston4167]

$20?!?! People try and give them away here in southern California you can commonly find babies free-$10 dollars max and adults are almost always free. It's always interested me how the market is so different across the USA. I also agree with you about the prices being washed out with the over breeding and selling. What people don't understand is that you should be breeding and selectively picking the best of the best and culling the rest. Sounds very cruel but that's the only way to keep our gene pools refined. In the wild natural selection takes care of that for us. But in captivity breeding terrible quality to terrible quality over and over and selling all the offspring will only wash out all the good genes shoot the prices way down and give us in the end way lower quality of fish.

[@PalmerAquatics]

Michael Johnston - I agree 100%
