Hmm, how to fit a larger tank maybeToo small a tank! Maybe a Fahaka... but not very tankmate friendly
When we did the house remodel I had considered a bigger tank but the loss of storage in the house adding a second bathroom and removing a hall closet didnt help. Keeping the tank at 24" wide made it so we got a shallow storage closet behind the length of the tank. If I went wider, we would have lost that space. I kind of already hate the fact the tank is so tall, lolHmm, how to fit a larger tank maybe
They can be such aggressive feeders that they actually kind of freak me out, lol. I feel like my tank is too small for these too. I really wish my tank was like 30” wide instead of tall.Have you ever tried peacock bass? There was a member here selling some recently. I absolutely love them and in fact took a pic of a guys tank he shared on Facebook the other day… check it outView attachment 9382
Actually I texted him tonight to suggest that he breed this guy if you ever part with him. Haha
My only issue with that is that he was a runt of the batch. In fact he still is smaller than than his sibling with the swim bladder issue. I would guess the bigger midas is at least 12" based off the devil that died measurements. This guy to me seems about 10" but is fierce and doesn't know he is small, lol. I could see keeping him for life in a 90 to himself. I wonder if he were line bred if a small midas variety could be produced?Actually I texted him tonight to suggest that he breed this guy if you ever part with him. Haha
great minds
The one on the bottom sure has an interesting shape…. More vieja that amph. His colors are also interesting with how the orange looks like it’s basically falling off the tail while he swims.My only issue with that is that he was a runt of the batch.

Anyway, after i euthanize the sick midas with the swim bladder these two are left

Hadn't thought of that... might be worth seeing if the two can make it without killing each other. The true midas would be cool with some size on it.I also think you will see some exponential growth with the largest two now passed away
Vieja? I have a Bifa, some grow out argentea, maybe a zonatus.The two amphs might work for a while. They have divided the tank in half and kind of stay on their own sides for now. The little Midas kind of pushes those boundaries but they allow each other to cross over when its feeding time. I absolutely hate my tank right now. Hopefully I figure out something soon. Future Trimac home? lol
Need them a bit bigger sized…Vieja? I have a Bifa, some grow out argentea, maybe a zonatus.
