So I'm looking at my tank today and noticed EGGS on one of my rocks and the only one guarding the eggs is my Midas who I thought was a male this whole time. Can you sex my Midas please, is it possible that it's still a male protecting the eggs? But it's not letting any other fish near that side of the tank! The Midas has it's sex tube out, idk if it helps

A hump and pointed fins are not always true ways to tell with young midas or midas mixed. He reminds me of my male back in the day. If I was to guess id say male because of the heavy body for this size. The only true way it to vent this youngster.
