Red Devil Angel Fish

[Ronnie27]

I was in my local madien head today with my girlfriend and she saw some red devil angle fish and pointed them out. I have never seen these before and was wondering if anybody knew minimum size tank for them etc as she has just got a 80 litre tank and was wanting 2 of them. Would this be too small? Any help would be great cheers

anybody??

Did they look like this?

More commonly known as Red Shoulder Scalare angelfish but sometimes called Red Devils Angelfish
They are just a wild colour variant of your common Angelfish and therefore grow to the same size.

40G is required for two of these with a tank height of at least 18"

i think they looked like that. the tank is 15 tall but as i say only 80 liters. are there any other kind of angle fish that dont grow as big that could live in a smaller tank cheers

No sorry, tank is a bit small for Angels,

Good and bad information in that post. Yes, they are just a common angelfish, just different color. But, you don't need a minimum of 40 gallons for 2 angelfish. I have a breeding pair of angels in a 20g flat hexagon ( 18 inches tall BTW ). You also don't keep angels in pairs unless they are a breeding pair. Because angels, just like any other cichlid, will beat the crap out of each other, you would want a group of at least 4 .
