Hi Cichlid Breeder,

The tank that pair of oscars is in is only 65gallons. Your 125gallon sounds nice. I vary the filtering. Right now it is only using the Magnum 350. Sometimes I also have the 'over-the-back' filter on, which goes down to Bio-Balls, sponge under the tankcabinet...what kind of fish do you have?

Hi CichlidBreeder,

You may actually be better off having other fish in the tank with a breeding pair of devils. Will keep male red-devil from torturing the female, he'll have to spend some time beating up the other fish in the tank also Image
