    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Steve, I was always told that they were a Green Severum X Red Devil and that only one of the two sexes were fertile, but I can not remember which...
 
Actually there have been several scattered reports of these breeding on occasion. It's rare but it has happened.
I had a pair, they laid eggs constantly, which never hatched. And peaceful is a descriptive term I would have never thought I'd see applied to them.
I finally sold mine and swore I'd never own them again. Their screwed up mouth, the bullying, the incessant laying of infertile eggs which only resulted in increased bullying..... I just got tired of everything about them.

They are pretty though, nice color in a tank. But it also got to pissing me off when everyone who saw them said, "oh look at those huge goldfish".

And regardless of the debate on which species is involved, they are a hybrid none the less. For the record, sevrum and red devil is by far the most common answer I hear and read of.
