I have a newly set up 150 gal with a male jag 5" and a female trimac 3".
Could I add a red devil?

every fish is different personality..given that you have lots of room... also that they are all babies.. i would definitly give it a go... i have a red devil with oscar and two black belts and jaquar.. you should be okay..i have very peaceful tank... add hiding places.. etc.. trial and error though because nothing is written in stone..

Thanks for the advice Liz!

I am excited about the prospect of getting a Midas.
I went to the LFS yesterday and looked.
They have the Midas and Red Devil in seperate tanks.
I preferred the Midas, and there was one in the tank that was very aggressive and definately a male. There was another healthy specimen I thought was a male, but I need to study the various profile listings to be sure.

The clubs no longer exist.. please post some pics... heres my biggest at 14 inches..yes my LFS stores around here are the same.. but in a way that is good...because if your not prepared for their aggressive nature then nothing good comes from them selling them to ignorant people who will end up giving them back to the LFS.. you need to know they most likely need their own tank... and most people have no clue how to take care of them and what tank mates and size tank... same with pacus.. wish they were not so easy to buy.. not fair to the fish..

wow those are beautiful, their faces do not even look aggressive they look so sweet or is that just yours lol ???
