what fish am I?

[parado]

I bought this fish as a red devil - But I am begining to think that it is a midas - can anyone tell - also what sex is it?

That is a big Midas and sexing would be Male. Although a picture of the vent will tell better.

Is it a midas because its piebald and red devils just dont get that color? please tell me how you can tell.

 

[Cross127]

It's a midas because of the snout and back structure. RD's have longer snouts and will usually have more pretruding lips. Also Midas have a higher back structure which makes them look deep as RD's could have little of this but will more likely be more slimming. Thats a very nice fish by the way.

One hell of a pickup... is it mean?

Looks a little like a FH to me (flowerhorn) Something about the shape... (I've had many Midas/RD's to tell the subtle differences.) I'd also guess female.

I'll try to get some more shots of it

Here are some shots - I tried to get some of the vent if that helps - also will it grow a cranial hump - I know that both Midas and Flowerhorn do but do all of them?
