Just picked her up today at the cichlid convention :wub: The more he/she settles in, the more I realize how great it's going to be having him/her around :*)
I really get a female vibe from this one, I could be wrong but for now I'll call 'her'-"she" :p

Anyhoo, what a fantastic color :wub:

I expect her true colors to come out even more over the next few days. Surely she's beat from such a long week.
I expect that he/she is less than a year old, and to be quite frank...at a gawky growth age :lol: She reminds me of a kitten -when they get those long awkward 'cat legs' on a tiny body :p
 
And much like a kitten turning into a cat, s/he will develop quite an attitude and think they're the boss of the tank. :lol: Looks nice but they are called Red Devils for a reason too. :p
 
wow! Those colours are really good in her! I take it shes a pure RD then?
Congrats on the buy! :thumbs:
Is she in the big tank with your Midas?

DD
 
No, not yet..... :hey: I was thinking that maaaaybe, when he moves to the 120 and she moves to the 50 for awhile, they might possibly both be able to go in the 120 together eventually :whistle: We'll see. She's way too wittle right now though, she's itty bitty compared to him. and of course this all depends on if it's a "she" :p
And yup, I was told, several times, that it was pure :nod:
 
Thanks!
Either she's still just settling in...or she's really skittish by nature :X This one behaves nothing like my midas. Nothing at all. She comes out and does her thing but if we get close to her she jets beneath the driftwood . She's cool with glancing from a distance....just stay back :rolleyes:
 
Awww, what a sweety -- and such bright colour! :wub:
Hopefully she and your midas can get along (insofar as these fish are capable of doing so, lol) once she's older :hey:

My midas hybrid is a bit skittish by nature, though less so than she used to be. She's definitely wary of you, but if you kneel on your knees and watch the tank for a while she'll randomly charge straight at your face and dance a little bit before going back to the safety of her rock :lol:
 
He/She is adorable. :wub:

Your gonna have some Gorgeous Offspring when they are mature enough to get jiggy.
 
Thanks guys, she already looks so different. Has a nice little round belly on her and whatnot. That's what all you can eat ghost shrimp will do to ya :rolleyes:

She's still a little nervous, but coming around. She does love to jet behind the driftood though, but if you encourage her to come out she will. She has so much character, so sweet :wub: :wub:
 
Very nice....and if shes got character now...wait till she's completely settled...too bad they have such tempers or id have one.

More pics ¿ :p
 
new juvie red devil, adorably ugly!

WOw ur right.. THAT IS UGLY... ahahha just kidding..

red devils are one of my favorites.. i guess it was being beaten up a bit at the store (the white patches).. i buy fish all the time that are picked on/not doing well..

i bet she will grow into a beautiful beast
