hoges Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 I definately wouldn't advise keeping these fish together!!! Red Devils are very very agressive fish and should usually be kept on their own or with other fish of similar agression (I have had experience with both Black Belts and Jack Demsy's with red devils). On the other hand severums can be a farely peaceful cichlid in comparison!!! I think you will find that your red devil will bash your severum up or kill it. As far as I am concerned you would be a fool to put these 2 fish together!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoges Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Severums can be agressive towards less agressive fish, but I doubt very much that they would come out on top, from an argument (so to speak) with a red devil - though I would take size into the equation. I suppose you could but a juvy red devil in with an adult severum. Like I said, both jack demsy's and black belts seem to hold their own against a red devil. I suppose your main problem is that red devils are very territorial fish, so no matter what fish you introduce to an established tank (where the red devil knows his territory) you are going to have problems. my advice would be to choose the fish you wish to add but rearrange the tank on the day of arrival so as to confuse the red devil and then give them both time to sort out territories etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeW Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 FishAddition - Laura is right - this isnt an option. Red devils are MUCH too aggressive. Cheers - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
