Currently I have an underwhelming Fahaka in a 120. I’m looking for a fish that’s more interactive and have considered Midas for a while. My lfs has 6 small “Red Devils” however I really would prefer a Midas. Online I’m not finding any that are clearly Midas/in stock. Does anyone know where I can get them? Also will a Midas be a significant improvement in personality over a fahaka? I was thinking of starting with a group of 3 to 6 until they grow a bit and I can pick the best single male to keep.
 
The term ¨Red Devil¨is a catchall LFS term for any of the similar colored morphs, and interactive personality types of Amphilophus cichlid species interbred (intensionally or not) over the years from the great lakes of Nicaragua.
The Midas species morph , Amphilophus citrinillus (as with all Red Devils morphs will) fit into that clade, as far personality goes, and work for your purposes.
It is really not needed to seek out, specific citrinellus per se, to achieve such interaction.
All Amphilophus are basically built that way, when mature with a dominant demeanor.
