These fish grow quite large (around 10 inches or more). As Tropicals they should be kept at around 70F to 78F and be in a well filtered tank of at least 48" x 18" x 18" dimensions. (Bigger is much better)

Can a jaguar cichlid be housed with a red devil?

I suggest no, because I personally own a red devil cichlid. Known for their extremely intelligent and aggressive behavior, one red devil should have a 50 gallon tank all to its own. My personal experiences show that a red devil is able to kill all sorts of cichlids, some being even larger than itself.

How do you know if a red devil fish is male or female?

When the Red Devil Cichlid (Amphilophus labiatum (in USA) and A.citrinellum (in Australia)) reach maturity, in both species, the males develop a hump on their forehead. I do hope you realise that these fish grow up to 18 inches long and therefore require a very large tank.
