10 Inch Red Devil Cichlid = Dangerous Fish
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 มิ.ย. 2019
- I was forced to remove a fish from my 350 gallon aquarium...a decision made by the dominate fish of the tank my Red Devil. 3 fish were added in his stead. My goal as a fish keeper is balanced aquariums that both my fish and I can enjoy.

Just got an Oscar today. Excited for when he gets that size or bigger. He’s probably 3 inches right now.
It’s been a year what does the Oscar look like now
Love your videos and the knowledge you share for a newbie like myself.... keep up the good work
Thank You!
Love your tank with those beautiful Big 🐟, 👌👍5⭐
Thank You!
Love your videos. Beautiful tanks! Keep up the great work!
Awesome set ups bud!!! loved this video
Love your videos , im into south americans and have got some great scape idears from you for my 7ft , love it
Awesome!!!
Love that pike, I've often wondered how some people are able to keep larger fish like these 2gether with minimal problems, most of them say just keep them fed well and have a great filter system setup but it has to more than that
Thanks, yes he looks good but he can be aggressive...I hate the fact the he's aggressive to my catfish and flagtail...fish that don't cause any problems. My trick to getting my fish to co exist is raising them together from young...I've raised all these fish from very small size and for the most part they've been together...which I believe helps a lot
I hit the “like” button just based on the video title! Lol! Red Devils are aggressive!
Lol, thanks yes they are monsters
Exciting footage! Sweet kitty😀
Thank You!
Nice Flagfish.. never seen one so vibrant. Good diet, low stress!
Thank You!
Awesome vid! Keep up the good work! That arowana wanted to fly lol.
Lol, yes he did
The peacock bass are beautiful. So nice as they reach full size.
Yes...I think I'm gonna need a bigger tank too! Right now the Azul is 16"...imagine 28-30"!!!
Bruh UD u maturing before our eyes my brother...not to say u wernt mature before i understand u i was raised in miami myself Heat lifer 35yrs and this city makes u protective of urself and urppl not lettin nothin slide 😂 but yea im proud of ya UD maturing in the building broken bridges💯💯
Thanks, appreciate it
Your tanks are just amazing 😍
The 55 native, you just whip that up like it’s nothing and it came out looking a like a real piece of nature the pumpkin sunfish is use to..
btw can’t really tell how big some of the fish are in such a big tank..
Thanks, yes when I moved the smaller bass into the 350 I was shocked how tiny he looked!
cool fish tanks dude 👍
Thanks!
I raise these fishes a long time ago they eat and kill everything till I got tired of a predator tank I switched it up back to a planted community tank
Few fish wins a battle with red devil . Their jaws are made to crush snail shells . A oscar doesn't have the weapons to fend it off .
Love the vids. Love that u keep the funny shit in lol
Awesome video men hope everything worked out
Thanks, so far so good
That was AWESOME
Nice video enjoyed watching :)
Thank you
Azul is getting big!!!
Currently my biggest fish!
Been awesome watching your channel and fish room grow this last year or so
You have awesome fish man.
Thank You!
It doesn’t matter how big that Oscar gets that Devil will win
Enjoyed that ✅
Great tanks
Thanks!
Very nice fish. Most are very big 👌👌
Red Devil is very nice too.
I have a small Red Devil too.
Tanks are looking great. Think you made the right move swapping the oscar and arrowana.
Thanks!
Let’s go another one
I had the exact same issue. My red devil hates Oscar's! Maybe when that Oscar gets bigger he will be ready for the devil
I believe so, maybe around the 14" mark
I give that Dismount a 9.8
Lol!
added a red devil with my two Oscars a year ago. 1 week later it was back to the local fish store. Some mean SOBs. But I love them 😣 once I can get an extra tank I’ll be getting a red devil and keeping it alone or with some bichirs are something. My bicher was the only fish my red devil didn’t mess with
Wow, I'm actually lucky because mine only fights when challenged...not starting fights, just finishing
I feel u bro mine killed my beautiful adult male green terror cichlid... but that was years ago and now I have one Devil which actually wanna kill my common pleco.... these fish are nasty same sized no fight but a kill for the devil 100% guaranteed
Awsome video, you have bad luck moving fish. Lol I enjoy your honesty!
Thank you, yes I need knew methods
Brother, I have some big, arm twisting fish too. I've told you many times. I love your channel! Young man when you have new videos, I actually smile at the tube. I love your fish, your personality, your knowledge of fish, and your well respected demeanor sir. I'm your biggest supporter Darius!!! Rod
Thank You!
Great fishroom buddy
Thank you!
@@dwsdarius your the man I watch all your videos I just wasn't commenting on a lot of them yes sir U R the Man
great tank and video
love your scapes
have you ever thought about an
indoor pond type setup??
viewing glass, that scape, large fish
win win
👤 "HI EVERYONE AND WELCOME TO DWS DARIUS WORLD "
😂😃😃 GREAT STUFF MAN 👍
Thank You!
Great idea, there are a few channels out there with such a tank like what your describing but I'd much rather see one on this channel 👍
yeah Darius has a good take on things really does the ground work he deserves the same stack as the slackers.. if he work in your local state aquarium you would get the expo, what's local, what's not , what's cold and what's hot.
should we crowd fund the experience ??
That might be a Midas, not a red devil. I could be wrong though. From my experience, Red Devils are more relentless and that forehead is pretty big
Its actually a hybrid of the 2. Its mother was a midas and the father was a red devil
I really came to hate those Red Devils they turned my 200 gal. tank into a species tank and they wouldn't stop breeding . It was the worse 20 years in aquariums I ever had.
Wow
Surprised there is still aggression/territory issues in a BIG tank
Yes they became greedy for power/ territory
Can you do a semi care video for those fluffy dog fish, they seem really cool
Newest sub
Did you build those tank stands? If so how bout a video on how to built those types of stand, please
Yes, if I get another tank...I'll film the entire build!
That’s what my green terror looked like after a run it with my red devil. And the devil was half his size
Have you ever raised a ghost knife to full size? I have only seen a few and man they are really cool, hope you keep yours to maximum size
No this is my first ghost knife...he has doubled in size since I've had him...hopefully he doubles again to give me about 16"
My red devil was good but my Oscar did the same thing kept going at the red devil. And now my Oscar is a little worst the yours but outside body damge. 250 with just those two fish can't believe 8 feet wasn't enough space. By the way u have an amazing fish room
Thanks, yes these cichlids are just so crazy towards each other
Bro I thought that fish was really trying to get u at first 🐠🐋🐟👍
He came close to getting a face shot
Nice arrowana, have you ever checked out (Fish Story Aquarium and Rescues) channel? He has maybe the biggest arrows I've ever seen, but reason I bring it up is because it looks like a max version of yours.
Is the 350 your largest tank?
Thanks, yes my 350 is my biggest tank. I don't think I'll be keeping this arowana...they get just way to big and on top of that they love swimming space
Your very lucky yours is that chilled. I dont think theres a fish alive that my red devil wouldn't have a problem with.
My red isletum got messed up by my labiatus like your oscar and healed after like 3 days! Crazy stuff
This video was produced 2 years ago. I am curious did the 16in C. azul choke the 6in C. ocellaris?
love ur vids my guy. hey got a huge red devil for u to chek out and another flowerhorn i think they might have got me . i looks like a tri mac but jokes on them lol i wanted a tri mac and i only paid ten bucks but i think the video is flowerhorn female? with a red devil in the thumb nail if u could check it out again
I always kept my S. Americans together with other S. Americans. Centrals are more aggressive and I'd keep single specimens most times. Citrinellum/Labiatus are crazy fish.
Do you dial in the temperature before refilling for water changes? My biggest aggravation is getting my temperature close to the aquarium I've just water changed
No I try to feel it out...which of course isn't accurate but now that I'm not using heaters for the summer, all of the tanks temps are between 76-78°F so at least with each tank I'm using the same refill temp
These videos does your 350 no justice in size,I seen a 265 the other day and could not believe the size of that tank
Yes Its pretty huge, if it was easy I would have caught my Azul to show you guys how big it it...but the stress on the fish and myself would be way too much!
What did you say the silver fish with the red and black striped tail was? Can't seem to find him anywhere
Flagtail Prochilodus
I'm pretty sure old Stan warned you! You know another for that tank would be the red shouldered Severums. But at a large size.
It would be nice to see a giant South American/central of calm big cichlids. I always like the highly colorful H.nicaraguenses,Green parrot cichlid, H.psittacus,all the great Geophagus. Never seen anybody do one..Oscars are on the list also. Uaru's..like that.
Yes that would be cool with a lot less aggression.
@@dwsdarius btw,I consider Cichla as peaceful big cichlids. They just need big friendly tankmates. Amazing color on some Peacock bass..and those yellow Kelberi being happy at only 12-16" would be another to add.
I guess your tanks are predator fish amazing to watch. Love big tanks btw and I guess it's hit and miss when trying to put these fish together for compatibility. I guess not much aquascaping for plants with these monster fish. 🐳
Yes they enjoy destroying any plants I add!
You're lucky. A lot of dogs would have bitten that fish the moment it hit the ground. ... Back in college, I had to move my goldfish to the basement, since my parents lab/dachshund mix kept attacking the tank.
Wow, no my dogs don't care about the fish....its my cat I have to watch out for
My Brother jumps like that when he changes the water D !👍😁
Lol, yes its scary when fish come flying at you!
He looks like a Midas but either way, beautiful fish.
That's a midas , not a red devil
I don't know much about fishes, my friend is very very passionate about it. So here I'm....
Looks like that arowana that you added to the 350 has a little drop eye in that left eye ?
Yes it does...and its pretty severe
I've never tried it myself but I've heard that floating ping pong balls on your surface keep that arowana looking up and it can actually cure the drop eye, but it sounds risky if the arowana keeps trying to eat them could get stuck in his mouth, like I say just a weird remedy that I once heard, if it doesn't try to eat them and consume them just kind of keeps pecking at them and keeping his interest pointing upwards I could see how it could work
Whatever happened to your African cichlids tank I enjoyed seeing those fish
I sold them a while back
Nice setup bruh!! Just spray paint the 2x4’s black. That’ll look clean
In my time of big fish keeping oscars will never make it with a red devil. I had a red devil that grew to 16 inches and the only fish that made it and i later had to separate was my dovii which grew faster and larger. That was in a 550 which the dovii got and the devil got my 350. My dovii lived to be 20 years old 24 inches long and was completely psycho. To feed him i had to have my wife distract him while i fed him on the other end because he would attack you while feeding him. I miss that hobby and have been looking into tanks again. They used to be a dollar a gallon then too. The same 55 gallon kit that was $125 when i was a fish enthusiast is now $450. $125 for just the tank as opposed to $55 just for the tank. I got the 550 at an estate sale for $150 with the stand and fish in it but took the fish which were about 300 africans to the local pet shop got every aggressive large cichlid you can think of and 3 snakeheads which are now illegal to sell. In the end i had around 40 tanks up running and occupied. I know i will never find a 550 thay cheap again but im web searching like crazy
Wow! Yes this hobby is seeing inflation big time and there's no sign of it getting better, even used tanks are expensive. Best bet is to get tanks from petco with there 50% off deals, no as good a dollar per gallon but the best deal these days. That with a diy stand
Nice Red Devil. I think you made a good decision, u need the Red Devil to keep the pike cichlid in check
I'm staying away from overly aggressive cichlids nowadays but I'll probably get a Flowerhorn again. Nice video
Thanks!
Is red devil one of flowerhorn's ancestor together with midas, trimac, terror, parrot?
Yes, red devil, midas and trimac are all apart of the amphilohus family...and the parrot is a by product of the red devil
I dont blame you the first time i kept a full grown midas and oscar together the midas went ape shit and almost killed the oscar. i ended up getting rid of the midas cause i didnt have anymore tanks to put him in.
My Red Devil is also very aggressive, it looks like these fish cannot be combined.
I'm surprised if that red devil just now as big as he is fighting it Oscar and making him lose all his scales and fins and stuff I had a red devil way smaller than that Anna Oscar way bigger than that and he made that Oscar jump out that tank he was flapping on the floor when I found them.
Yes red devils are some really destructive fish when they wan't to be...Oscars just have big size and big mouths
How big is that tank ?
Wow! When the thing was going I could only see the thing counting down for like 30 seconds and then it ended! What happened?!?!
Aro jumped...its another shot around 11:00
yea wow
What are the plants on top of the 210gallon tank???
Probably Pothos, they are a common household plant that does wonders in removing nitrites from your tank. They grow both fully submerged and out of water
Yes pothos and lucky bamboo
Do you ever feed them right after adding smaller fish like those? Just wondering if you find that it lowers the chances of conflicts
I did...My cichla ocellaris was sizing them up to see if he could swallow them so for the first week I kept him full so that he wouldn't be tempted...and now he seems to know that they are too big
Feeding time is when it’s the most conflict
I had a red devil like that, bullied everything in his tank, even bigger fish, that is until he met my Texas cichlid
Texas Cichlid will be able to hold his own for only a short while but eventually he too will succumb to the Red Devil eventually. There is literally nothing that can take on a typical Red Devil from what ive seen and Ive owned almost every predatory fish in capativity imaginable. I was convinced the Red Devils are the most aggressive when mine killed my 13" Dovii Cichlid at only 10".
Texas as nutts
Ryan Heard lol exactly Red Devils are just crazy as fuck Texas are more of a mild manner cichlid
Whys the oscar missing so money scales.?
Attacked by red devil...which is why I moved him
dude I had a red devil when I was a kid....evil fish.....not as evil as my Giant Red line Snakehead was
You need a gar in there
Is a 1.5-inch Firemouth cichlid and a 2.5-inch common pike cichlid in a 29 gallon a good idea?
Depends on how many territories are present in the tank(plants, rocks, driftwood), pikes have a really strong jaw so the firemouth will be at risk if ever they start fighting(very likely).
Yes I agree in that size tank the pike could likely kill the firemouth as they grow
@@dwsdarius Thank you! Luckily I researched a bit and found out that the Pike can eat the Firemouth.
The first day I got my red devil he killed my Oscar
What substrate are you using on the big tank?
Play sand from LOWES hardware
Looks really good
Holy shit was the fish in the net when it bailed outta the tank 😮
No he jumped over the net
Did you get a new camera?
No, just changes some of the settings on my original
DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS your video look so good keep up the awesome work 👍
If oscars had teeth on their lips and not on the bck of the throat they would probably be one of the strongest
Poor oscar that's terrible
Thats a midevil thats why he's kind of mild mannered
Your 6 inch Bass looks like a Temensis, if that's the case it will outgrow the other Bass.
I think it may be a hybrid...it was sold as Orinco...but the speckles remind me of temensis...but not exactly like temensis...so I think its a hybrid, but I said the same about my Azul when it was young and look at it now...so time will tell
I had a cat exactly like that.
Mine is a mainecoon...who's father was 23 pounds...hopefully mine get that big!
That’s not a red Devil that’s a midas
Won’t the bass try to eat the arowana?
No its too long for them, they actually didn't bother him at all since being in the tank
Put a ButterKoferi same size in there with him. He'll keep that red devil in check..
My bad just watched the whole video. Didn't know the Oscar was the issue not the Devil.. 😔
Shovelnose catfish can eat fish close to his size.
That looks more like a flower horn than a red devil
Its a male thats why
Yes male red devils get nuchal humps like flowerhorns...rather flowerhorns get nuchal humps like red devils because flowerhorns are a byproduct of red devil hybridization
@@dwsdarius more like a pruduct of overbreeding trimac cichlids
U should get a huge blood parrot
I don’t think he likes Parrot Cichlids
That's a mid devil not full red devil. I have one and it's the same size. Mine is pretty aggressive
what kind of Pike?
Spotted face
crenicichla lenticulata...spotted faced pike
A large wolf fish would pimp slap that red devil into next week .
Red Devil would kill a Dovii. Ive owned both. Trust me. You may think im crazy but Im speaking from experience in which I didnt want to believe at first myself when my 10" Red Devil surprised the hell out of me and killed my
13 1/2" Dovii. Red Devils cannot be underestimated. I can not stress that enough to people. They are probably one of the most, if not, the most unpredictable fish out there.
You basically have a cichlid tank besides two other fish
I wish I could donate my 55 gallon to you
