So it's been awhile, but Military life has been very busy for me. Anyway, here are some updates on the fish and a new addition so to speak.

Creamsickle Pair
First up of course is my pride and joy. Junior and Kitten(My daughter's name for her since she isn't getting a cat). The female has put on some weight and looking better then when I got her. Looking much rounder as a Midas should. They have bred 5 times now and show no signs of slowing down. 1st batch was a no go, but was able to get Boon(Mad about Cichlids) and Lecorps(Blue Demp) their fry from the next batch. Behind them is batch 5 in the making, batch 4 is free swimming(whats left as I culled most), and batch 2 and 3 are in a grow out 55g. Slowly integrating plants back in as the female has not been tolerating them. She prefers to see the fry at all times.

Fry
These are batches 2 and 3, or what is left. Several from Batch 2 are changing color and most are around an inch and a half. I now some will ask and I am sorry, but for now I am only selling locally. Will try and work on shipping in the future after my cross train, but if your in the area let me know. I will always have some.

Piebald pair.
This pair are actually the brother and sister of Junior and Ken's Juggernaut. They actually look more like the parents then their brothers. Looking at all 3 brothers it is amazing how different they are in size, color, physical traits and characteristics. Would love to take several, put them in different conditions and see how they turn out. Proven breeding pair and they are fun to watch when I am taking a mental break at the office at Nellis. Gave them to a friend at work who is now considering selling them. Info is on the video info.

Awesome pair! Jr looks just like OJ now :). If I could find a female midas with a nuchal hump for my male in the future I would be very happy.
 
Junior is impressive as usual. He's the great Orange Whale of Midas! Both pairs are nice. You are right. It is amazing how much different the siblings look from one another.
 
Pair looks good Scott. Send me some frys :-)
Thanks man, will try in the future.

Very nice pairs! Love the colors.
Thanks. Out of all the color morphs there are creamsickles are my personal favorites

Yeah, didn't notice that. Makes it that more special. Good luck on the female, I am sure you will find one.

Thanks Buddy, he is just under 14" now and thick as can be. It is astounding how different these two look. Jug and Junior at least have similar faces. This guy looks like his dad.

Beautiful pair!

Much appreciated
