Somebody sent me an e-mail the other day with concerns about a lump that had developed on their Oscar's head. When they finally sent me a photo, their Oscar wasn't an Oscar. I'm pretty sure it's a red Devil, what do you guys think? Never kept them before.

If you can't ignore an insult, top it; if you can't top it, laugh it off; and if you can't laugh it off, it's probably deserved

It could be a female, but i find that unlikely, peresonally, considering it seems to be a large specimen- and the fact that he said the hump was grown quickly. I'm not 100% sure, but I'm 75% sure.

Artemis is on this one. It's a male. Both male and female RD's develop humps but the males is much larger. Heck mine's a female... check her out.
That's the difference. I'm not sure how anyone can confuse an oscar with a red devil. By the way, I've never been convinced that the Red Devil and Midas Cichlid or the Thick Lipped Cichlid aren't all the same fish.

Keeping fish is only as hard as you choose to make it.

Its either a Midas or Red Devil, both look really simillar, the fish in that photo though is definately a male, females dont develop nuchal lumps like the one in that photo.
Funny how he thought it was an oscar though

You lucky man, you probably got one of those very rare dwarf white tiger veiltail Oscars!

If I were a guy, I\'d have probably needed only 30% of the amount of words to say this

~ I needed that today. I have two red devils and I have been waiting for his big bump to appear and I just found out tonight only the male gets the big bump.
Mine has a nice curve tho. But it looks like both mine will be females. Oh! well. As long as they stay as nice as they are now that will be fine.

you should see the big bump on my jade eyed Cichlid, a very impressive. Reminds me of the elephant man a little bit. I will take a fresh photo
