Idk about petsmart, but yesterday, my lfs had a the BIGGEST male midas I have ever seen in my life. It was around 18-19" long 10-11" tall and the nuchal hump was bigger than a softball. I dnt have my phone to take pics with, they also had 10"+ blood parrots. They all looked pretty old. I wish I had had my phone to take pics with.
I dont have any pics of my Petsmart Midas but I can say he is very well proportioned, thick, with a small hump coming in. He is a bit of a runt however; at a year and a half only about 9".
He is very easy going for a Midas and is in a community with 5 large Silver Dollars, 1 Pleco and 2 new fish that are tiny compared to him. These new intos (Jack Dempsey, Red Tiger Mota) into his domain did not even get a second glace form him; he is that mild!
He was not the showstopper that I was expecting but is still a fine looking fish.

I had some that were like 6 months old, you can view the pics in my profile. I went to PetSmart today and asked if they had Red Devils. The lady said "We do not sell Red Devils". I got one 3 weeks ago, and she thought I was stupid and do not know the difference between a Midas and a Red Devil. The store I got mines from definitely sells RED DEVILS! They also sell hybrids since they look so similar. Check out my pics so you get an idea. I had 2 and think they were both females. I own 1 right now.

I am not giving up my parrots anytime soon but I want me a nice beefy male midas as a wetpet.
Went to Petsmart to see what they had and they had one left. It was a creamsicle one and look more Midas than Red Devil so I grabbed it. I am gonna ask a local store and see they can get some in and I am gonna check the other Petsmart. If I can grow out a few to a reasonable size and get a nice one then thats great but if they turn out crap I will order from a trusty source. Why pay significantly more if you don't have too.
From the pictures I have seen, the Petsmart midas don't turn out too bad.

Same here but I might not keep it. I wanna get a few more juvies and I will keep the best male.
