What do you think? Midas vs. Red Devil???

Whenever I see this kind of post arguing about same or different, I ignore. No point explaining when one doesn't wanna listen.

THey are both the same fish if you ask me. The name Red Devil have been around for quite a long time. Through selective breeding for different colors, the Midas name was attached to a few that were a golden color.

As I stated earlier, same fish, different name!

Actually, NO. These fish are distinctly different species and wild fish can easily be distinguished by even an untrained eye. Successive captive generations have mottled the gene pool to the point that captive bred Citrinellus and Labiatus are often the same fish. But wild caught individuals are most definantly separate species. I hope you stop giving false information.

I wish you luck on that...hoping he will not give false information. I think there were about 5 people trying to tell him that these 2 fishes are different species. AND he still said the same thing, "Same fish different name."

Maybe he should talk to Ad Konings (ichthyologist) or other experts about this.
