I wasn't planning on getting a Midas but this little one had the most beautiful eyes and would always pay close attention to me when I would look at him at my LFS. Well, the third time I went to my LFS he was still there and I said WTF. I added him to my 75 gallon grow out and plan on putting him into my 180 CA/SA tank when he/she is big enough:

What do you think?
 
Nice looking, good form.
 
Makes me wish I had room for one
 
I've never had a Midas before but I'm well aware of their aggression issues. All seems to be going well but it's only the first day. I imagine as the fish gets older the aggression level goes up. Does anyone have any tips for the care of the Midas?

Just taking a second look at your pics looks like you have a really nice tank setup too


Thanks

Hmm advice, be prepared for aggression as you know, they grow very fast some times >1" a month. THey are awesome fish to have, i have a midas/red devil, as yours is probably the same, but mines got a little more red devil in it(mines pushing 10"). You will soon fall in love with this fish as i have with mine and many other people have with theirs. My girlfriend likes mine so much she wants her own wet pet so she is getting a trimac.:headbang2:ROFL:
He is a very nice looking, keep us updated.
