My new 3" Midas

[Amphilophus88]

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.
He is a very nice looking, keep us updated.

I totally agree about growth rates, mine grew very fast as well.
To the OP: Your Midas looks very nice, he'll be a monster. Before you know it he's bigger then that Dempsey I see in your pics.

I haven't seen any sign of aggressiveness. I do keep him very well fed on a extremely varied diet. I gather as the midas gets bigger the aggression level goes up?

That Dempsey is the most passive fish you would ever encounter. The only reason he's in this tank is because he was being bullied by my jaguar in my 180 gallon. He's also developed a eating disorder:
