Badgers034 Hobbyist Posts: 59 Kudos: 23 Votes: 4 Registered: 15-Feb-2006	yeah that is what most people tell me is to watch out for the RD. well, i heard that ome red devils beat up other fish, and others are tolerant (to an extent), and i also heard that others are scared timid fish. (i find that hard to believe??) well i have a LFS corner fish store that will be willing to take him/her if it gets too bad.

Badgers034 Hobbyist Posts: 59 Kudos: 23 Votes: 4 Registered: 15-Feb-2006	well, i already have the RD in my 30 (dont worry, he is only 2 inches and will be moved into my 125 within 2 weeks). If he/she becomes a problem, i have a corner LFS that will take it in. AS far as the 2 JDs go, I was thinking about a M/M mix or a F/F mix... unsure as of now.
