Watch My Red Devil Cichlid Grow 0 To 11 Inches

[@opgaquatics5609]

With a lot of central and south American cichlids, you gotta be patient for them to get colorful. Honestly, it's so fun to see them transform.

[@dwsdarius]

It definitely if amazing

[@carolineraimbeau1124]

What a beautiful beast! Your videos are always cool. Thanks for sharing his progression.

So cool seeing how the colors change as he ages.

[@dwsdarius]

Yes I actually kept him because he was white while he was young...then he went orange a few months later

[@swmartin85]

Love these transformation vids.. he's a beautiful beast now😊

[@mandymoore5774]

That’s an awesome looking fish. & I love how ur able to keep em in a pond like that! I’ve never even imagined something like that possible w tropical fish even being cichlids. Never thou they could handle it.

[@dwsdarius]

Thanks, I only keep them in the pond during summer, they have to come out when the temps start to drop

[@occichlids1700]

That's amazing how you've kept all the footage and compiled a great video! I have one at 6", plan on keeping him forever.

Hi I hope you get Back to me I have a Midas cichlid I got him on the 11th of August it is now 23rd of October he was about 1.5 inches when I got him and has remained that size in like 2 months this video leaves out my most important part pls help me thanks

[@occichlids1700]

@@Predatorfishaddict I would say give it another month or two. But in general be should be growing about 1" a month until he reaches 9-10"

[@opercula]

Approximately 35 years ago I had a red devil spawning in my 300 gallon tank. The parents were relatively young, ie, the male didn't have a nuchal hump. I had hundreds of fry and didn't know what to do as they kept growing. I ended up giving them away to local dealers as they grew but they were still all white. The male ended up ripping the mouth off the female before they could breed again and that was pretty much the end of the story as he would kill anything else in the tank. At any rate for the past 35 years I've frequently wondered what it would have been like to have kept a few fry until adulthood. Now I know. THANK YOU DARIUS !!!

[@dwsdarius]

Wow! Yes these fish look awesome, but that attitude can be annoying!

[@MujahidAbdurrahim_65]

really amazing seeing him be kind to other fish :) did you do something to him?

[@dwsdarius]

That ended shortly after making this video and he killed one the peacock bass in the tank. I didn't do anything, it was just his personality that kept him calm as long as it did

[@MujahidAbdurrahim_65]

@@dwsdarius i'm sorry for the peacock bass. If it's ok to ask, how did he end up died? Did your red devil kill it and it died immediately in the tank? Or it suffered a lot and died several times after? I'm asking bcz i'm having 11 red devil in my tank and must take precautions

[@dwsdarius]

@@MujahidAbdurrahim_65 The red devil just chased him and attacked him randomly one day and the bass died from injuries. It occurred in one day, when I came home and saw it I removed the bass into a different tank where he died shortly after

Fantastic video!! I just got my first Red Devil today!! What do you recommend in regards to fish food, the place I got him from told me normal fish flakes were sufficient but I had to do 2-3 punches a day… do you agree? I want to make sure I’m doing right by this big guy!

[@dwsdarius]

I fed mine hikari sinking cichlid gold. Flakes are good for a baby (1 inch Fish) but larger fish will be more satisfied from pellets

[@chaitanya3436]

That red devil was amazing! Which food do u feed them

[@crawdaddy6037]

So is this a mix breed or true labiatus?

[@Trippyrockstarr]

Are u going to add anything else to the 350 or are satisfied with the fish there now

[@dwsdarius]

I'm planning on making a bigger tank for those fish, then putting my tinfoil barbs and other cichlids in the 350g...but that's months in the future

[@thagreenchild2854]

so how often do red devils spawn

[@dwsdarius]

Once their first batch of fry is old enough to fend for themselves, they spawn again. I know breeders that can get 7-8 spawns a year

[@Ricky.Paulus]

@@dwsdarius Greetings from Poland. Good luck.

[@danielaaviles5503]

Wow !! How amazing ! I have some red devil babies about three months old, they’re now getting quite big, I would say about 15-20 survived. The parents don’t seem to mind them in the tank, my question is, do I need to get them out? How long can I keep them in the tank for ? Thanks in advance

[@dwsdarius]

Once they reach about 2-3 inches the parents will be ready to spawn again and they'll actually begin to fight the previous batch of fry to keep the new group safe. So around 2 inches they are good to go

[@brandonm8249]

I had to take my red devil fry out at two months old because they were beginning to damage the dad's dorsal fin! About two or three at a time out of the group would just pick at his fin and it became irritated and red like it wanted to bleed, poor thing! The parents were so defensive of the babies and hated when I came near the tank. The had that "come at me bro" look on their faces.
