Anybody have the gold barred Midas from Rapps ? Pics?

Got 4 of these (4-4.5") 2 weeks ago- looks to be 2 males and 2 females. One pair has formed and male is almost never barred just in the middle but he has a very pronounced nuchal hump already, the 2 females are almost always barred. these guys are great now i just need some F1 or wild caught labiatus
 
Would an adult be miserable, as a single specimen, in a 75?
My plan- if the pairs dont bond well or become more work than fun is to keep the largest male as a wetpet in a 75- i think they would be fine. I asked Rapps and he 50g for life 75 better and the same for a pair. I will trust that man on anything fish!

Hmm.. I don't remember my W0 gold bar female looking like this. If I remember correctly, she looked like a reverse bar. Meaning her bars were lighter than her body, which gave her a golden look to her bars. And I'm not sure if Jeff got any more in. If not then that was the female I bought from him and since he had only male from that location I decided to send her back to him to breed them. It might be the same fish and he bars darkened back up after she settled in??

Jeff described that situation in an email are you in Alaska? about getting this female back from a customer to breed them. My males are gold with the rose line and look more like you've described the 2 females look like the photos above or have since their tubes have been down.
