About This Species
The Red Devil Cichlid is a large, powerfully built Central American cichlid renowned for its vivid red-orange colouration and notoriously aggressive temperament. Males develop a prominent nuchal hump and thick, rubbery lips that they use to pry invertebrates from crevices in the wild. Highly territorial and intelligent, Red Devils recognise their keepers and will interact enthusiastically during feeding. They are best kept alone or with equally robust tank mates in a spacious aquarium with heavy filtration.
