75 or 90 is ok for one midas. How big is it, where did you get it? Everyone will say its a mutt if you got from lfs so...
Midas will get big humps, rds may have bugger lips, do some reading this gets asked every other day

I have done quite a bit but every one posts a pic I am looking for more visual guides I bought it from a reputable lfs not a pet store. I think its lips look large compared to other fish its size it is about 3.5 -4 inches and almost all pink now. thank you for the info about what age does the hump start to grow
If they all post pics use those to compare to yours. What does reputable lfs mean? I know of some that are reputable but sell mixes, so unless they tell you who it is from then there is no way for you to know for sure. I dono where the posts are but there are tons that all they have is descriptions of the differences between the two, and you will never know for sure. Longer, thinner bodies w bigger lips, look at the shape of the mouth, is it more of a V or a U? Loota guys here who know a lot more so maybe the cit experts will help you, but you need apic
thank you your pics are very helpfull he lookes exactly like the one on top but its stripes are already gone he was just starting to color up when i got him a month ago. it also has the red eyes I think it must be a midas.
