I had a whole bunch a while back that I gave away around 7". I sold the last pair I was keeping to guapote.

I no longer own these but would be interested in anyone currently keeping them as I'd like to get my hands on one.
 
Thanks for the replies guys! Yes, I know bighead is dead. I remember see rapps selling his fry, but that was when I was a college student and couldnt afford a tank bigger than 55 gallons in my apt. I am just curious if anyone has a direct son or daughter from him. JUst want to see if they carry his colors and shape.

wildcaught--yours definitely has the body. Awesome fish there.

I wouldn't quite go as far as to say "Just about every barred Midas" you see today is off of Bighead, but I think a good many might be. Would be nice to get those genes back and get some more going that were for sure from Bigheads line. Also already mentioned that he had past.

It is too bad for those who did own fry from him and got rid of them. You never know what you got till it's gone as the song goes.
 
i would love a male to pair with my lone wild female from nicaragua (yes i'm sure she is wild i caught her)
