Sherbert! The HUGE Red Devil Cichlid in Sacramento

I shot this video at my favorite fish store "Capitol Aquarium" in Sacramento, CA. This is "Sherbert" he lives in a large acrylic tank about 4 feet long and two feet wide. He loves chasing you from one end of his tank to the other. The sign on his tank says "He likes to be teased" He's huge! about 14 inches long. Beautiful colors.

That is a Midas not a red devil.

Midas = A Citrinellum and a red devil =A. Labiatus

Nice fish though, is it yours

@CichliDaqi it was a 55gal tank

@GODLIKE20000 He said that the tank is 2 feet wide, which would be perfect width, but it really seems like that the tank is not wider than 16 inches.

What is going to happen to Sherbert now that Capitol Aquarium is closing??

It's a 100% Midas not Red Devil...

well with red devil an midas they have been crossbred so much it could be a hybrid but i do know that a midas will have a larger hump an more robust an the red devil will be more stream line then the midas so my opinion is that is more midas then a red devil.

@arrow1a it is a red devil, this is at a pet store and the V jaw is a sign that it is a red devil
