How old is this fish?
 
I was asking because it looks like it may not fade. It's tough to be 100% certain with these guys but I wouldn't be surprized if it grew into a Red Isletas type looking fish.
 
I assumed it would based on its siblings fadibg. if i go back to that store ill get a pic of the half faded sibling which has been that way for months now actually. maybe it will never fully fade and keep orange and black (im almost convincing myself to buy it)Although these is no guarantee with him i agree. Ive seen somewhere here, dont remeber where someone has a barred midas with same bright red head and yes as an adult it did look a lot like a isletas. Which i also have :P

If it does not fade, i will get mightily, but mightily, irritated.

Period.
 
Due to the circumstance, my most esteemed and leatned colleague, that it is of utter injustice that everything that fades ( my eye sight included ) is on this side of the pond, and the unfaders stay over there, in the land of rich and plenty.
 
My dear ever so slowly physically deteriorating friend, i didnt know barred midas were hard to find over there.... I knew even less that you like the unfaded ones :)

Wrong again, oh my Queen. mentioned deterioration is far from slow. Quite on the contrary it evolves at a rather astonishing speed ( as, dare i say, my stupidty ).

And you are right, oh my Queen. Would trade most of my fruit coloured Midas for a coiple of barred ones, which, to put it plainly, i have never seen live in more than 40 years of fishkeeping.
