Hmm, how to fit a larger tank maybe
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
Also, I’m saddened that big midevil passed. He was really becoming a beautiful example of a large midevil. One of the nicest I’ve seen.
I do have a female midevil ( was told it was pure red Devil, but couldn’t verify) just incase you’d like more chaos in your 300

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.
Actually I texted him tonight to suggest that he breed this guy if you ever part with him. Haha
great minds
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?
Anyway, after i euthanize the sick midas with the swim bladder these two are left
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.
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.
The deed is done. I euthanized the midas with the swim bladder issue. It was bigger than the last one at 12 3/4” it was a beautiful proportioned fish. Not overly fat, nice hump and a pretty good personality. This one will be missed.
So its down to the two cichlids in the 300. They have been been going at it. The red devil has a scuffed up hump and is looking rough. The smaller midas is a beast with its no nonsense not afraid of anything attitude.
If it gets too rough I have a 90 available to move one out. Likely the red devil to go heal and then get a new home. The midas would get the big tank until I either see growth on its part or get moved out in favor of something else.

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
Vieja? I have a Bifa, some grow out argentea, maybe a zonatus.
Need them a bit bigger sized…
The Bifa is 10"
So the others would be endli chow?The Bifa is 10"
