We acquired a large Red Devil fish, that we fundly call Diablo. He lives up to his name. He was up for adoption. We saw him huddled in a corner of a tank at the pet store. He seemed so lonely and docile. Boy..little did we know, haha.

Now we sorta know why he was there, lol. We would not trade him for the world though. Fallen in love with him. Quite a fish-son-ality..haha.

Unfortunately, before putting a divider in -- he ate two blue dolphins and a baby fantosa & electric yellow..that we know of..

We are hoping to get a larger tank for him pretty soon. We love our african cichlids and the tank divider is working out well for now. We have a gorgoues Jack Dempsey, large fantosa, electric yellow, and a couple more beauties..not sure the names.

Diablo is quite a character though. He loves performing somersaults when he see an audience. His crown is very pronounced, his green marbelized eyes & coloring are beautiful, and he is very smart and attentive. From time to time, he opens the lid on the tank and squirts water out. He is just a big floating baby.

My son learned the hard way, to have rubber gloves on when cleaning the tank, however. Ouch! His fins are very sharp.

We love watching him rearrange the tank also. One day there will be two big mountains of rocks, the next day, small curvy hills. All the plants get placed where he wants them too.

He is about 8 years old.

Well, -- any good deals on a larger tank out there? lol.
Diablo needs a bigger home. Just a matter of time, I think he will figure out how to take the divider down. He also loves to take the filteration tube down from time to time too - and we've lost a cichlid or two that way. We do have that side of the tank reserved for him now, and the others are on the safer side.

Know it sounds like I'm saying don't get a red devil, but -- nope. They are amazing fish..lol... but for the love of the African Cicchilds..lol, do keep Diablos seperated if you decide to have one.
