	Red Devil And Midas, is it love?
Trojan_man Enthusiast Posts: 204 Kudos: 191 Votes: 0 Registered: 10-Aug-2004	I have a 5 inch red devil and a 5 inch Midas, they really get along with each other(really) They fought with my flower horn together side by side like a team. From the looks of it, I think they are forming a pair, they are not mating, but just seem to stick with each other most of the time. But the important question, is it possible for they to breed with each other? A reminder: They are two different species, I did not buy two red devils. Midas look somewhat different from the red devil.
