Short clip of my midevil Gentle Ben. Amphilophus sp. make great wet pets, however this one would bite the heck out of you if you weren't careful.
Beautiful fish, great personality and I think I’m set on getting a Midas. Would their behaviour change with a female or do you think they would be as interactive
Midas all the way, not much comes close ime.
Oscars are cool.if you want a puppy dog that sulks.
Some Texas and vieja can be cool but it's very sporadic and easy to get a less confident one.
Butti are half way between Oscar and Midas, greedy pigs and can be aggressive.
If you want the attitude of a fh with having a fh then get a Midas.
(Tbh contrary to the above fh are most owner responsive on the whole but you've ruled them out, fh are just hard work to keep alive ime.)

Midas are better alone, very likely to kill females in a 125. All his attention will be on you then.
I have a barred isletus in my 90g called Rufus, love him.
I will never be without an amph in my collection.
Trimac is another option...
If you want a Midas you have to buy from rapps or cota ect, all LFS amphs are hybrids.
Buy 5-6 and pic your favourite.

I really can't say this is the only fish of this type I have ever owned and he was always kept as a solo wet pet. The tank in the video is a 5'x18" 100 gallon and he more than filled it up so I never tried to introduce any other fish. I have several much younger lyonsi and they are very subdued compared to this fish, but that could change over time.
I thought about Lyonsi as I liked their colours but heard they didn’t have a personality to match
