i posted a forum already but i need your help again. i can't make my mind up of either a trimac or a red devil or midas. What ever fish you help me decide will come from jeff rapps. i am going to order soon like next week. I thought i was going to get a trimac but today i saw a awesome all orange red devil and loved the fish and its personality but i have heard that trimacs have the same personality. if i was to get a red devil i want something that gets large like 13-16" and bright red and all red. but jeffs look small and not so built but his midas look that big. could i get a bright red midas from him? What would you choose out of the three? It would be going in a 100g 6'x18"W. heres one i like, how big do they get?

 
we are not the once who's going to look at everyday bro you are ! get what you like and enjoy it....:)
 
ya i know, all im looking at is for personality. i like both coloring but i still want something big. I want to know if you can get all red midas. and if they have the same personality as a red devil?
 
What it comes down to is what you like the best. I don't think you'll be disapointed with any of those three. With a Trimac you pretty much know what it will look like as an adult. Rd and Midas can color morph as they grow and might not end up the same color they started as. Trimacs top out a little bigger than the other two generally but not always. I big red Midas is a stunning sight. All three are great interactive fish that you will get alot of enjoyment from. Talk to Jeff about his current stock and make your decision.

Good Luck and keep us posted,

I had an all orange rd from a pet store that got about 14 inches. Coolest fish I ever had. I have a tattoo of it on my side lol. Bit like a mofo too.
 
Ya i saw one full growin in a 55g it was like 13". it was all redish orange and was so funny. they got it from the lfs and the lfs has had the same supplier so the one they have in now is about 5" so i might get that one instead. it sits at the front of the tank already.
 
trimacs are meaner, they should be housed alone. While red devil/midas have varied personality, some are mild and peaceful, some are aggressive.
 
I would go for the Midas/RD, but you never know what color it will actually turn out until you grow it up, and you might be dissapointed. Trimacs all look the same pretty much.
