Teamsherman Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Gday, the devil i have has taken 16months to get from 2 inches to about 9 inches. A great site with heaps of info on the red devil is www.reddevilfish.co.uk Its a privately run site, and has all the info you will ever need on red devils, its very well put together. HTH, Alan.

r.d.m Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 mine are about 5 months old now and the 2 biggest are about 10 cm long and these 2 currently have a nest of eggs and on day 3 you can just see the babies inside the eggs they dont seem to be bothered by the other fish in the tank but they never leave the eggs unattended one of them is always there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gcichlid Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 In my experience they grow fastest in the first 6-8 months. Mine is a full grown male with a gigantic hump and is whitish pink all over although depending on mood he sometimes darkens to a bright pink. He has very long dorsal and anal fins. He's 4 y.o. and is 34cm in size. Great fish. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozz Posted September 24, 2004 Author Share Posted September 24, 2004 what happen to the others thats a good question due to my inexperience with this species of fish i housed them in a 1ft tank and not realizing how aggressive these are at such a young age my remaining one felt the need to assert its dominance by effectively killing the others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
