What would you keep with a midas?

Keep it civil. The same problem makers are popping up in here, and if it continues several members will be taking vacations.
 
I keep one with a number of aggressive cichlids in my 125g. i actually have two and a pruple rose queen with fish like bass, jds,green terrors, paratilapia, convicts ect. the list goes on. i would say that they have been together since they wer 1" each. this set up is not typical fas they mature
 
...how they look in the wild

Id keep...walking on by the tank it was for sale in ;). While I like their personalities, Im not a fan of the nuchal humps they grow. In the past though, in 125g+ tanks, Ive kept them with trimacs, festae, severums, cyanoguttatus, carpintis, freddi, managuense, convicts, honduran red points, clown loaches, large plecos, pictus cats & synodontis

BTW...they look all kinds of ways in the wild, not just barred.
 
I kept an Argentea, Pearsei, and Blackbelt with my midas and had no issue. Also were 5 silver dollars and a pleco in the tank.

At times I tried different tankmates and never had an issue because my midas was ultra peaceful. He has had a Jack Dempsey, freddie, fenestratus, and convict in the mix at some point. This was in a 210g filltered with two FX5's.
