well i am gonna order from him soon as is. thanks for the offer though.but if someone told you those were 100% labiatus id ? them. most male fish can be kept in a constant state of reproductive readiness. i have seen NUMEROUS males with huge tubes hanging out. he is full of testosterone and fiery as hell. most males if NOT ready to breed will have a thin point at the vent area where a female will have nothing till ready to breed where once shes done it recedes back inside of her. my male and other males before him, not just devils, but most cichlids ive kept have shown this trait. not all but quite a few. if kept in ideal breeding conditions, a lot of male fish will have their vent out and swollen at all times.
I completely agree with Central Mayhem - I would be SHOCKED if they were 'Red Devils', and not midas.
I think the question is how pure the midas is. Post some head profile shots, especially head on with the fish looking down. I personally find this the most accurate way.
As for Rapps, he sells both Red Devils/ Midas. With that being said, I doubt he would pusposefully ship incorrect fish, but mistakes happen. As well, most people talk about Red Devils and encompass Midas under Red Devils, so perhaps your friend thinks they are the same. It is not even a 'noobish' thing to do. I didn't know myself until about 4-5 years ago, and I have been keeping 'Red Devils' in one take or another just shy of 20 years
If you want, post some head shot pics and we can all debate it with a bit more accuracy, me thinks..
