I will most likely upgrade in a few years time if I’m honest so that shouldn’t be an issue hopefully. Also if I were to raise a Midas with 2 Oscars from a very young age would they be able to co-exist? (Sorry for asking so many questions aha)
Midas are great but certainly more difficult to get to play nice. If you want to keep other species as well, I would go oscar
Hm I see so would a Midas be able to live with Severums or clown loaches or strictly no tankmates?
Midas would need similarly tough aggressive tankmates; severum and clown loaches would work with the oscars, but I wouldn't try with the midas. Midas, you would be better off with other central American cichlids; because of the level of aggression and also because they thrive in harder water. You could attempt a community of aggressive CA cichlids like the midas, but these tanks are difficult to pull off in the long term, takes a lot of luck and often a lot of frustration to get a mix that works. Would probably have to shuffle fish around for a while, and have another tank running to put refugees in temporarily. There's no way really for me to tell you if a mix of fish will definitely work or not; just guidelines like maximum size or water preferences, which can guide the decisions.
Yeah, they're fun in the "try not to get your fingers bit when feeding" kinda way. Lots of personality if u like fish w bad attitudes. I swear at mine alot. Lol
I’m gonna stick with getting one of the cichlids. Does anyone know if a Midas will work with 2 Texas cichlids
