You have a couple of options here -- One: Get a larger tank for the RD and let him rule that one alone; or two: Sell or give away the RD and then stock your 15 with community fishes. Adding 4 more fishes to your tank now is only a death sentence for them.

Red Devils, like other aggressive Cichlids, require large aquaria. If you want to keep this feller, you'll need to upgrade to perhaps a 75 gallon; if you want to keep him and put in tankmates, then go even larger than that. If you want to just keep your 15, it's best to sell him or give him away to a caring home.

--Mark:cool:

anything you put in a 15g with a rd is gonna end up as food, they are very aggressive and need lots of room to grow
