looks very red devil to me, call it a red devil or midevil if you want, its up to you really!-) as long as your arnt breeding it i would say rd, got some nice lips on it and great colour!-)
alot of anal people will say ''its not a rd or midas unless bought from rapps or other reputable source so its a midevil'' they will say that in a geeky tone as if they are holding their nose shut and speaking pmsl!
i would call it a rd.... meh!

The difference between red devil/midevil and midas is almost just semantics as far as aquarium specimens are concerned.
If you bought a fish called Amphilophus labiatus this may at least be an indication that it is possibly not be Amphilophus citrinellus.
But unless the fish was acquired as a true one or the other, from a respected source, the ability to discern its true lineage is nearly impossible. And midevil is simply a cross between the 2.
Even in nature they occur in the same waters, although they tend to know who's who's there.

There's a sticky at the top of the page that explains this fairly well. Short read is what Duane stated, there's no way to tell with any certainty just by eye balling a fish.
I don't consider myself anal, and I can't recall anyone ever calling me a geek, but the reality is that if one doesn't have provenance back to a collection location in the wild then chances are with these two species, ones fish IS going to be a hybrid cross. Call it a midas, a midevil, an RD, a mutt, a showstoppa, it makes no difference. Whether anyone wants to accept that reality or not is up to them. But it is what it is.
