My Midas

[RD.]

Not quite in the same league as some of Buddy's brutes, but I've had a few people ask me lately for a pic so I thought this might be easiest.
I just relocated this male back into the 125 where he started out close to 7 yrs ago. Still deciding on what or if substrate is going in. I may just let the bottom get covered in algae, it makes it easier for him to pick up small pellets, and I like to make him work for his meals once in a while. The grandkids always comment about how large his brain is. lol

Stunning Midas!

Wow he's looking great Neil, what an impressive guy -- by 7 (if they even made it that far) most Flowerhorns would be looking pretty old and ragged, but your Midas looks way younger than his years.

Thanks Barrett and Sean. He does look good for his age, hopefully he stays that way for years to come.
I actually bought him shortly after my last FH died.

FYI - he's 13"-14" TL.

Here he is front & center (at top of photo) with some of his siblings back in July of 2102.





The father was a creamsicle from Conkel, and the mother was a red/orange from Rapps.
