Was doing my water changes in the CA room today, which houses three Midas, a Flowerhorn, and a breeding pair of Convicts. Two of the Midas, both males, are currently in a divided tank - I took the second one in unexpectedly and am buying him his own tank shortly. Actually, Orion is a Midas that I originally bought as a baby, gave away when he hit 6" or so, and now have back 
It was either I take him, or the guy was going to take him in to an LFS that I despise; I couldn't do that to Orion. Anyway, even though Orion is actually a month older than his tankmate, Karma, he's about half the size due to improper housing/care while he's been away from me. To make up for it, he's got the nastiest attitude I've ever seen on a Midas his size...worse than my 12" monster across the room. He definitely doesn't have any issues about his size, as he's more than willing to attack anyone and anything that comes near him. Makes trying to clean his tank impossible. As usual, while doing the water changes, he started flaring at me and whipping around the tank, so I started teasing him by wiggling my fingers in the water. He went nuts! Check out the two videos...the first one is short, it got cut off becuase while my boyfriend was talking to me, I guess I wasn't paying attention and wasn't quick enough, and the little bugger got me. Hense the end of video #1, as you'll see 
Takes a few minutes to load.
