lol..yes you are for the most part but half the fish labeled "Red Devil" or "Midas" are all mixed. =/ so it is pretty rare to find a full breed. you can contact some breeders though and get some. also, since they are mixed a cross might have more features of a RD and have bigger lips but still not being a full RD
