More Agressive Midas or Red Devil?

i'd go with personal preference myself. i know midas for sure will often bite the glass loud, am assuming rd do the same. pics once you choose please.
I would go for the Red Devil. The reason is here -
I recently added a 2.5" RD into my CA Cichlid Tank, and within a couple of hours it managed to terrorise the Jags and Firemouth in it which are more than double it's size. Strange it may sound, but I was astonished to witness this. It now rules this tank, with everyother fish almost bowing to it before they can catchup to some meal during feeding time !!

It seems that many are mutts of the two anyways, atleast in all my LFS so you may end up getting a little bit of both.
Depends on the personality of the fish. A lot of Midas or RD's you get at pet stores usually are a mix of the 2! Midas/RD. I personally have 3 pure RD's that I know are pure because I got them from TUIC. They are tough as nails!
If you could get pure specimens I've heard that female RD's are the nastiest. I had one that was mainly rd, maybe not pure like Ry's, but more rd than Midas and it wiped out three tanks after I gave it away. She keeps getting dumped into different tanks in this city and killing all her tankmates, bigger ones too. My midas is pretty angry and I think I like them better, more robust body. Anyway, this has been my personal experience
