Very nice looking fish you got there, I love creamsicles
I just picked up my first creamsicle devil/midas sold as a flamingo cichlid but I'm leaning more towards devil. I guess there's no real easy way to tell unless you trust the breeders. Yours has really put on weight and it looks great. Looking forward to more updated.
This is my 3.5" Petsmart Devil aka Devil/Midas aka Midevil...whatever.Please don't mind the set up. He just inherited this tank so there are still some upgrades left to be made including a background. My wife named him Sunny. I don't normally name my fish but it's her tank and her rules...somewhat.
Natalie he is looking awesome. I seen one almost like yours at petsmart the other day almost got it but I did not have room for it. He is looking good keep up the work
I got him out yesterday to attempt to vent. He/she is still too small to tell, so for now I'm continuing to call it a "he". GREAT personality! He always darts over to me and begs when I come into the room. I admit that I feed him too much (3-4 times a day) but I can feed and feed and feed and his abdomen never looks distended or uncomfortable. He gets Hikari Gold, BioGold, NLS medium fish pellets, spirulina pellets, and bloodworms. 80% water changes every 5-7 days.
I'm still in the process of getting his new tank. I'm probably going to order a Tenecor or Midwest Custom Acrylics 150g (60x24x24) and put a 3D background in it. I can't wait to have it set up, but it'll probably be close to Christmas before it's all ready for him.
Here are a couple pictures from yesterday (sorry about all the algae). His orange areas are starting to become more blotchy which makes me think he'll get more white soon. I love his eyes!
In that first pic it looks like he is smiling. Watching these fish grow is like waiting for a flower to bloom, you never really know what your going to get. Keep them updates coming.
Maybe about... 4.5" ? I measured him a few weeks ago and he was 4, and he seems to be growing a solid inch per month. He still looks like a baby to me, though. And he definitely hasn't developed the devil attitude at all... yet!
