I tried the frozen but it was too large. These Midas fry are really tiny. In a few days they will handle the frozen brine shrimp just fine.
I had two breeding pair of the Midas in the 180 up until a few weeks ago. They alternated breeding every few weeks on opposite ends of the tank. This went on for several years and then one day all %$^%$@ broke loose and the Midas pairs started an all out war with each other.
I took one pair up to a LFS (not chain, but specialty). They said they were practically worthless since it would be difficult to sell such big cichlids and that they'd be doing me a favor just to take them. So, I went into the store a week later and they had them in a tank priced at $65! Worthless.... ehh?
Today when I went in for the liqu-fry (another two weeks had gone by) I learned that they had sold them at the asking price... worthless... ehh? :sad
I told the employee I was talking to (who was very nice) that I had just gotten fry from the other pair. Once he realized they were related to the pair that I had brought in he was all eager for me to let him know when the fry are 1-2" long so that I could bring them in. He thought the pair were gorgeous....
Worthless ehhh? :argh
