Update on RD/Midas

[Lady G]

A while back, I came on with a fish I bought labeled as a Flamingo Cichlid. We came to the conclusion it COULD be a barred midas or a RD/Midas in the end we really were not sure. Well he has grown some and changed a bit also. I know he is not a barred Midas, his bars have disappeared, and thought I'd share a few new shots of him now and see what opinions I may get now. I am going to try and get a few better shots, but for now this is the best I could do.

looks like a RD/Midas to me.

he is peeling to some sort of yellowish-orange/red colors. so this does rules out those barred midas theories. rd/midas will most likely be what it is.

here is the original thread for those who were curious, like me.

only advice i got for ya is, hope you have another tank for it.
when he becomes older and big enough he will make fish suffer, unless the tank is quite big.

Thanks guys!!! I knew once he started changing he wasn't the barred Midas, but I wanted to update his pics. I am a little worried about the aggressiveness he may end up with, but right now he is anything but aggressive. I will be getting a 180...before long, may end up with a 150...but am looking for a 180g tank and will add him in there if I have to. Do you think he will end up with a hump on his head, do you think he looks more RD or Midas???
