Midas Vs Oscar Pt 2

[goldenballer]

Whats the smallest tank required for a midas pair ?
how long does it take a 5inch midas to reach around 10inch ?
Rate the midas please
i already have a baby oscar but im wondering if i should sell it for this midas , thoughts ? the reason im still debating is because the oscar is in with a severum and cons and i don't know if the midas will kill the others when i remove the O . another reason is im wondering if my tank will look boring with just one large orange fish swimming around , thats why i wanted a pair !

help would be greatly appreciated

First off what size tank?

 

[goldenballer]

right now its a 75 gallon but i have a 100 gallon and a 55 gallon . i could get a large tank in like 4 days , thats why i posted here. but it would be great if i wouldn't have to get a 4th tank

That fish looks more devilish than midas .... I would keep a red devil/midas pair alone in the 75... the male will grow fast he will be 10" in about 6 months with a good diet and lots of water changes... females grow slower when they breed....

okay thanks , does flowerpots really make a difference ? or are they needed for the females to live ? also rate the midas from 1 to 10 please

btw nice midas what size tank is he in ?

Just have somewhere for the female to hide in case the male goes nuts...I don't like rating fish I will leave at he is nice and will look nicer as he grows
My midas is in a 150
