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!

I'm just putting out what I know from my observation and experience. By no means do I think I'm an expert. As far as breeding it, it's all up to your choice on how you would like to try and succeed on. Of course you can breed it with a FH, but they will come back out looking more like midas/red devil. So in my own preference, might as well breed it with another midas/red devil if your going to try and breed it with a FH. ;)
 
If im going to breed it with something, i would like to breed it with something that looks good and, like everyone else, could raise some fry to make a couple bucks.

I think you would make more breeding it with another midas/red devil than with a FH. It kind of kills the whole purpose of a FH for most FH hobbyist. The only reason to it is because it comes out looking like midas/red devil more than a FH although it does give out certain trait of a FH into it. This is from my opinion only if I was to breed it, by all means do as you think it's best for you. :D
 
i understand what your saying. whats the best way? this guy is huge. ishouldve measured him before i put him in the tank. i would bet he's 14"
 
He seems to be pretty maxed out or almost maxed out. A 75 for himself would be okay. But if your going to breed it, I would upgrade the tank.

As far as female goes, your suppose to have a smaller female. A bigger female can go all hell break loose. :nilly:
