It is what it is. If you are happy with the fish just enjoy keeping it. It's still a nice looking fish. There's no shame in having a Midevil. Many grow to be excellent fish. The problems boil down to breeding, selling fry and adult fish in the hobby responsibly. Not everyone is willing to chance crossing similar species. Some are very specific in what they choose to keep and breed, sometimes down to exact locations. People can take this as a negative stance against their fish of unknown origin but it isn't. This has been debated and beat to death on this forum for quite a while and I doubt that it will go away anytime soon. There are other species that are questioned when their source is unverified (Trimacs are a fine example of this). For most of us, when we pay for a fish we want exactly what we paid for. That's why reputable vendors and hobbyist are so important. But even then things may not be correct. You just limit your chances of getting the wrong fish when you purchase from reputable sources. So if you are looking for a specific species buy from a knowledgeable and trusted source. Everyone in this hobby has their preferences and they should be respected. But that doesn't mean that we will always agree. Again, enjoy your fish!
