There are darker striped Midas out there but the dark fish in the pictures is not Midas. It's Amphilophus Zaliosus as labeled (aka Arrow Cichlid). Check out http://filaman.ifm-geomar.de/Summary/SpeciesSummary.php?id=12324 for more info.

yup, like Vitaliy said that first pic is Amphilophus zaliosus, a closely related species that is believed to have evolved from A. citrinellus. the zaliosus is a more streamlined species that is an open-water predator.
