I don't see it. Looks very Midas to me due to the build. However, as we do not know the origin of this fish 95% will be a hybrid. Grow that little SOB out. Has a nice tall and solid build.Linoleum;3622447; said:

Could cross with any of the other stuff that is dumped in the canals around there. Flowerhorns, texas, red devils, mayans.... and so on. Looks like a cool fish though.

When I say Cross I mean a Red Devil/Midas cross. I have grown out several that have had the dot like stripes. Give it time and most likely it will peel and change color. With a solid build like that I would definently grow it out. Might get lucky and its the ofspring of a real midas. You just never know with those canals if it was a offspring of a pure fish, or a offspring of a petsmart hybrid.
i dunno ive never seen such weird natives in a tank before. This is some guys tank that has a bunch of native canal fish and all his midas in there are weird looking, theres this one, then theres one that looks gold , just a bunch of weird stuff. ill make a post with a full tank shot to see if im the only one that thinks they are weird. They look like they are hybrids a bit.
The age old question, is it a Midas or a Red Devil is usually best answered with "Yes."
Whenever the LFS's around here actually get in non-hybrids they look funny to everyone because we've all gotten used to seeing weird patterns and hybrids. I would say its a hybrid of some sort, but who knows.
