midas or red devil???

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Awesome picture to use identifying them apart.
I think the lips shrink in captivity because of how they eat in the wild.
No doubt they will still be fleshy though!

You are mistaken....... Actually, 90%+ in the wild are grey.

Are you being serious?

Agree!
 
also, red devil have a "hook" on the top of they're lip.

true red devils aren't too hard to find, but true midas are. if you want to get a midas, you'll have to get one from a reputable breeder, as mentioned above.

there's no way to know FOR SURE without dna testing...if you bought it from an lfs then 99% chance it's a hybrid of the 2. if you want the best chance of getting a pure devil or midas...go with a reputable breeder/importer/collector. :)

Midas: U shaped lips, thicker, deeper body, lips not so fat and chunky as Labitus
