Red devil cichlid in HD ( canon HV20 )

[N0X0DIN]

my dad had a huge 1 like almost 4 pounds in a 55 gal. long it had one eye and killed a record of 7 other fish

[AnimalPlanet420]

Nice Red Devil!

[Hmoobification]

When you got it how small was it? And how fast did it grow to that size? Just wondering.

[JohnTap123]

my red just died 2 days ago :(

[MEGABOINK65]

why dont you have gravel on the bottom to keep him busy aranging them? i mean something to do, instead of looking out.

[HellsKitchen101]

aint these fish one of the ones that were cross bread to make the "Red Parrot Fish"???

[strikeard]

my red devil is around 4 inches and in an 10 gallon tank it would just stay in the bottom

why?

[Hmoobification]

its ur water and plus u need a bigger tank

[midasman714]

lol he didn't die b/c of the bare bottom tank... fish keepers keep their fish in bare bottom tanks all the time. although gravel is a source of beneficial bacteria, most of the BB resides in your bio filter.

Thats A Nice Fish

[shotgunpowderman]

does any1 no if a red devil can go with a fire eel?? reply A.S.A.P.

[skools717]

nope it would get beat on

[fromdust2dust]

first of all very nice fish. secondly i know exactly what killed it. NO SUBSTRATE. you see when you have substrate your aquarium cycles properly and the bacteria that the fish needs to prodouce its slimecoat exists plus when a fish is stresed it shuts down the glands that make the stress coat. your fish was stresed because it didnt have any substrait or decoration. to him its like being stuck in outer space and that would stress you out too next time put sone stuff in the tank good luck

[supaflywilkins]

the substrate dosent make it "haapy" or "sad" moron.

[Weazell]

@supaflywilkins Although, from what I've noticed, most cichlids have a tendency to want to dig

[Antiks72]

@supaflywilkins No substrate is easier to clean.

[HEAVYMETAL21ST]

how did he die?

[Xabandith]

nice fish im going to get 1

[cichlids4ever]

nice, runnin the vixia v20 in about a week :)

got the zr500 right now

[darkcresentx]

sorry to hear about that. but i have a midas right now. how much gallon was needed for yours to grow that size?

[africanmarty]

it was a 4 foot tank, 75 gallon i think.

[81Brennan]

Cichlids like this get big as fuck no matter what the tank size is. One of these needs a 75gallon minimum in order to be healthy.

[animefan22]

sorry to hear that he died. Beutiful fish. I also compliment your camera i am amazed at how much better the quality is. I need to get me one :). Do you have any replacments for the fish yet?

[africanmarty]

Thanks for the comment, it really is a great cam. As for fish... no i havent and dont think i will be for a while.

[ddyerfamily]

aren't you worried your fish

will break your heater ?

[vuthya]

how did it die? is this Centrinellus or Labiatum? excellent cam skills of ur friend.

[africanmarty]

its slime coat deteriated.... i tried everything but i was no good :( it was a Labiatum. thanks for the comment. - Marty.

[vuthya]

how does that happen?? the slim coat is similar to our skin...it protects us from infection...how do u know that it deteriorated? So fascinating...I love Labiatum...They are so rare...u never find them in the hobby only Centrinellum. How big was it?
