Expert advice needed!!

WOW, that is one BEAUTY of a midas there. I would agree that they would price it way more than $75. The hump on that thing is unbelievable...biggest I've seen for a midas in my life I'd tell you that. If you want it, buy it. As I can't even price that thing for myself...$140+ maybe?

DO IT!

DO IT!

I would if I was still a midas guy like back then. Not no more...hehehe.

I agree with Big_One, the nuchal hump on that fish is exceptional, and you could grow out 50 juvenile males & never end up with a king kong hump like that. It's a Midas/RD cross, and what it's worth is a personal decision that only you can make.

I would get him for sure. He's gorgeous.

I'm picking this guy up tonight. I worked out some final details with the lfs. Once I get it in the tank at home, I'll post some pics up (in the sa/ca section). I have to be posting where it came and all that (part of the deal). Supposedly it is fertile. Thanks

Me too! I'm gonna try him as a loner in my 75. See how well he likes it. If not, my stock in my 150 can be swapped back to the 75 (theyre pretty small) eventually i think hell end up in a 90g. going to look at one thurs night!

Crossing it back into a midas/red devil would just kill the entire purpose of a FH. If you want faders, cross it with a KKP and you might have a chance at it.

BIG_ONE, i dont hang out at this forum a whole lot, but you seem to know your stuff. im willing to any options on what to breed with. he is home now and in my 75 filtered with 2 ac110's so he should be just fine. i'm too tired to start a new thread with pics. but dont forget to follow it!
