Red Devil Cichlid
The Red Devil Cichlid is a bold and powerful freshwater fish, prized for its vibrant orange-red color and strong-willed personality. Growing up to 12 inches, its muscular build and fiery hue make it a striking centerpiece in any large aquarium. A bit territorial, the Red Devil requires a spacious tank-at least 70 gallons-with plenty of hiding spots and sturdy decor. It's best housed alone or with other large, similarly tempered fish to reduce aggression. This species thrives on a varied diet of high-quality pellets, frozen foods, and occasional live treats. Best suited for more experienced aquarists, the Red Devil offers both intense color and a big personality, making it a truly standout addition to any freshwater setup.
