is this a Red Devil or a Midas?

[ccebr]

what do you think?
pretty sure its male but tell me what you think.
the guy was selling it as a Midas.

 

[TrikkyMakk]

Unless you know the source it could be a hybrid. A lot are hybrids these days. From the lips I am thinking devil but again its probably a hybrid.

Where's the option that says "impossible to tell visually without doing genetic testing"?

with that snout and lips it def looks like a devil though i have never seen one that yellow, its def not a pure midas thats for sure, more than likely its a mix like others have said but def leans more towards devil than midas for sure, as far as sexing you would definitely have to vent especially since pure devil males dont really get nuchal humps...

 

[mou86afa]

now a day it's so hard to get pure midas /rd except the F0's although - they can be hybrid also and have both midas/rd properties ..
anyway i think he is a male but i am not sure

Also leaning towards devil. But The snout on that fish is to elongated. Most likley a hybrid. Doesnt even look like a decent devil.

Based on the lips I would say RD, but other than that it looks like it is mostly likely a hybrid as mention before.

 

[fishluvr12]

Def. looks RD but like has been said no way to say for sure.

qoute(pure devil males dont really get nuchal humps...)
It's not as common as in Midas but some do

 

[ccebr]

its a mystery. i thought it was a red devil becasue of the long snout and its not actually as yellow as in the pics its a bright orange colour

maybe if i put hybrid as an option that would win the poll

Without any other info other than your picture I'd say hybird RD/Midas with strong RD traits. Where did you get it and what do you know about it? It's very beaky with a Midas frontal face structure and a RD's lips. How big is it? I'ts look is a little odd.
