a few people said it depends on the midas, so IDK where you got it from that no one said it's possible.

alright fine. thats true. i just didnt feel a positive vibe from it, i should have said. i may also add that it is in an overstocked like crazzy 75 and shows next to no aggression that ive seen, but you know orinos arent easy to come by and id hate to see it get beat up. if there were aggression I wuold of course move it, but everyone that thinks midas are really nasty seem to make me believe thta by the time i notice it would be too late. thoughts?
 
final thought: SELL ME THE ORINO!!!

Personally I wouldn't do it, I've kept many RD/Midas in the past and they're very very aggressive and will relentlessly attack fish. The pbass won't be able to fight back and it will either kill it with a beatdown or stress is to the point of death. I'm still willing to buy that Orino if you'd like to get the RD/Midas!
 
i wouldn't have any reservations about putting my RD with my bass, but I would watch it a lot. I've grown it out since it was a couple inches (only about 7 now) and it's never done anything more than chase any other fish and just for a short burst.

well i guess this has been my observation of midas/rd's. ive never seen first hand a terribly aggressive killer. i might try it and watch it close/ my orino tends to be aggressive at least at first to anyone i add to the tank. so ill think on it alittle more. might trade some cuban fry to get it. might just take the money.
 
I had a female rd kill a largemouth within a couple hours of the rd knocking the barrier down. Just keep an eye on it and contact me if you want to sell
