Midas changing his color

Thanks for the comments.

I am just hoping I will be able to keep him. He is in a tank with a pair of breeding jaguars. I have had to re-home a Texas, Oscar, 2 plecostamus, and a Jack Dempsey so far.

Its the same the fish. If you look at the eyes, you should be able to tell it is the same fish.

That's exactly what I looked at first, I noticed the red strip on the top picture, and looked for it on the bottom one as well. Low and behold, it's there! That fish is going to be beautiful. Great find!

A few more pictures, taken January 30th. All the black color has peeled away. He has probably doubled in size since I got him in December.
