The Red Devil Angelfish is a striking addition to my 40-gallon planted tank. Its vibrant red and orange coloration stands out beautifully. It’s active but not aggressive and gets along well with my tetras and dwarf shrimp. Water parameters are stable, and the fish has adapted well within a few weeks.
