sex and rate my midas on a scale from 1-10 (I got him for $5.99 at petsmart 2.5 years ago and he was barred so I am thinking he might have been a f0 some how which doesn't make any sense.) I'm 100% sure male due to KOK size but his tube points to the back and he is mean as hell! :screwy:

urophthalmus, mayan, false red terror(all the same thing) or something else? I bought a tank off of craigslist and was looking at this guys setups and he explained to me that he was trading in his freshwater for salt so I told him I wanted this fish but had no idea what it was and he said he bought it as a green terror.

green texas/carpintis or some other kind of texas? I've lost 3 of them so far, now I am growing 4 out separately in a 10g. Cost me $1 a piece at my LFS. This is one of the ugliest of the 4 but hes the one I got the best picture of.

best $.26 feeder fish ever? Hes so mean looking lol. I've never seen any albino feeders with red eyes, the flash made it look orange but they are blood red.

the midas is definitely male, i've never seen a female with a nuchal hump that large, i'd rate that guy an 8.5.

second cichlid is a uropthalmas, or mayan..whichever you'd like to call it.

thanks, not bad for a $6 fish. Somebody on another forum tried telling me he wasn't a midas but some kind of hybrid.
 
for a 5.99 fish, that midas is a 10 I really like his coloration

the people on another cichlid forum told me he was a red monkey flowerhorn, they're pissing me off. :mad2:
