Thanks for the compliments.
He's actually very mellow. He goes a little crazy when I put the wifey in with him, she nags him into a violent rampage I think - his nuchal hump shrinks and he wails on her but he's fine with everyone else. I used to have him in a 135 with other RD/Midas, midas, lois, pikes, cons and catfish and he was a model citizen.
Right now he's sharing an 80gl with 3 cons and a plec.

i totally agree. they are an awesome fish and should be more widely distributed

Here she is in all her glory,

I see a lot of barred midas on here. The bars usually just indicate f0 (wild) fish or f1 fish. Don't see them in the pet stores much but its because devils and midas are so common and most people start off with pet store devils which are usually hybrids rather than nice wild specimens. Theres only one store I know of that actually sells barred midas. Rather than getting barred midas I got some saggitae which are closely related but a whole different species, still amphilophus though which is all that counts in my book. Heres my pair if you haven't seen my thread already. They are commonly referred to as "black devils" although they're not very common

I have 5 midas and 2 red devils I think lol, I need to go do a headcount on my 135. I've lost a few lately so I'm not sure. I have some red devil fry from one of my pairs too but not sure how many I have left.

I've also got this crazy hybrid with who knows whats in him but he looks mostly amphilophus.

I was told he was a manaconda(jagXfestae) X devil/midas.

Awesome Fish there.

thanks, If you want to see pics of the hybrid since it was a inch check this thread.

so by the sounds of it a $20 barred at 10" would be a good pick up. would you try it with a 7 1/2" tiger oscar and a 9" albino tiger oscar in a 500 gal. with a 10x5 footprint? the lfs said it is a mean sob and kills everything in the tank with it, only a 75-90 gal tank though. think they would have enough room for it to leave them alone?
