Thinking of buying a Red Devil (Midas)? My experience after a year.

Hi Finksburg ,
Very nice write up on Red Devils and Midas. It was very detailed and accurate.
It's nice to get some insight before getting your fish. Your Red Devil/Midas is beautiful by the way (that's big for a female). Good job!

I appreciate that! All the info I provided I found from you guys!

Hey Jexnell and other folks who have the experience for this - that recent pic I showed - is that forehead starting to seem "male like" to you? I was convinced this fish was a female for the longest time - the growth and forehead development lately has me questioning my original thoughts - could be wrong here.

This most recent picture makes me lean male. Maybe just a late bloomer?

Casper has no shame at all and always has his Wang out...
Males will have a ? shaped sex organ

It's way smaller than the egg tube that females have


Things to look for

3.5 years later - still love the fish. The Midas is about 13" now and has started to mellow out a bit. I hope all is well with everyone.

Beautiful fish and well written post. Glad Midas is doing well

Going on 4 years. Fish is incredibly easy to take care of now a days. Even more active than ever and loves when he sees his pellets coming. He got a small burn on his head not long ago, but its healing nicely. Love these fish, highly recommend.
