Hi guys, I’ve recently been at a fish store and I found this guy with a lot of personality. I’m far from an expert but I’m sure that it’s a cichlid, with a bit of research I think it is a midas,but I’d like an opinion from someone with more knowledge,thanks.
(Excuse the bad quality but he was moving really fast and the lighting quite poor)

I havent kept such cichlids in years but I'm guessing it is either a midas or a red devil.
 
Probably a red devil. They're a Central American cichlid and are pretty aggressive. I've heard a 75g is fine for a single one.

probably mi/devil
The mouth is pretty sharp looking like Red Devil. These fish are often hybrid within the two species.
Good looking fish I like the fins on this one
Yeah he was awesome,it’s a shame I don’t have a tank big enough otherwise I would have bought him instantly

I remember the good old days of having them and they would move the gravel to one side of the tank.
