Hi,
My 12 yr old Midas passed a couple of weeks ago so I decided to start over. I found this Midas at a local pet store. The owner told me he's been returned about 4 times because of aggression. Perfect.

He looks to be about a year old and was trying to bite me as I stood in front of the tank. Brought him home and put him in my 150gallon along with 5 small convicts.

He's left the convicts alone and I've been bonding with him daily. He's now eating krill and night crawlers out of my fingers. I have no intention of sticking anymore fish into his kingdom.
Check out this amazing 10 days of head growth. I think he'll be a stunner once full size. Amazing how clean water, space, low stress, and quality food can do for a fish's growth CFD5494C-8361-4243-ADD8-B908A5574AAD.jpeg
