I have two red devils in a 75g tank with a green terror and a bumblebee. I used to have 2 green terrors and 2 bumblebees....if that tells you anything. Red devils do not play nice with each other especially. The larger dominate one has grown to almost 6 in. in just 6 months. While the other...

That what I was hoping for, it just scared me because the transformation practically happened overnight. He is growing quite fast though, outpacing the other fish significantly and he is quickly becoming the boss of the tank. Although he doesn't mess with the green terror at all, I saw him nip...

Here are a few pics, can anyone help please?

Thanks I will try and take a picture when i get home today. His fins are noticebly darker around the edges now. And his lips are now 3/4 black. Top and bottom on one side and just the bottom on the other side. It's really quite strange. Once again he seems completely healthy otherwise.

My red devil, who seems very healthy, eats fine, exhibits normal behavior, and is the most agressive in the tank suddenly exhibited color changes. His fins seemed to darken a bit and on one side of him, his lips turned completely black. It looks almost like someone colored one side of his...

I recently stocked my tank with 2 bumblebee cichlids, 2 green terror cichlids, and 2 red devil cichlids. Night 1 of the tank, one of the green terror cichlids disappeared completely. I've found no trace of him. I've searched the room and surrounding area to no avail, and no mysterious...

Bumblebee Cichlid hanging out near his favorite hiding spot.

Done. The tank is fully cycled, i completed a fishless cycle (it took over a month) I realize now my original post wasn't very clear as I used the word "started" instead of "stocked".

Any idea if you can buy sheets of acrylic at a craft store? Or any advice for a cheap option? The opening of my tank is significantly smaller than the tank itself, the tank is 48"L x 18"W and I would say the opening on the top is only about 36"L x 10"W with a 1" strip through the middle. Any...

I stocked my first tank yesterday, a 75g. I bought 2 green terror cichlids, 2 red devils, and 2 bumblebee cichlids. All the fish were young and of similiar size, about 1.5in. The tank has been in my living room for several months and finally completed the cycle. I realize this is probably...

They seem to have acclimated pretty well. Although, one of the red devils is being a pretty big jerk and is bullying the other. He's taken up shelter in the krusty krab to keep safe.

Also, these fish know how to rock. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4hw17-fSB4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJ4atGRbUZk

Just added some tankmates to my first FW tank. The tank recently finished cycling has I've been learning / setting it up / cycling it for several months. I purchased 2 Bumblebee Cichlids 2 Green Terror Cichlids 2 Red Devil Cichlids The tank is a 75g Tenecor Simplicity, it was given to...

Well I ended up going with 2 bumblebee cichlids, 2 green terror cichlids and 2 red devil cichlids, all about the same size. So far they have been pretty peaceful and it's been a joy watching them in the tank.

I don't remember off hand what type they were, i might have to use my cell phone in the pet store to look them up.
