Magnificent fish! Absolutely gorgeous.

But, he's 14, so...why would you want to look like you're 7 years old?!?!?

1966 was a good year. Lol

Here's hoping for another 14 years of that beast! Midas will always be one of my favorite cichlids

I thought I would post the following pic from yesterday to demonstrate how much a cit can morph due to what I can only guess is environmental influence. Color shifted to much lighter, whiter overall colouration, and a nuchal hump the size of a tennis ball. Pic was taken with my iPad, so not great but good enough to show the sudden shift in this old male.

He’s a cracker mate

It would be like getting hit in the head with a water balloon. lol
Impresses the lady fish, but otherwise not very practical.
