Hi,<

>Is a red devil similar to a midas cichlid????<
><
>Cheers
Extremely similar. Alot of people can get them confused. They do say that the midas is more aggressive though but i''d it depends who you talk to. So yes you are right they are similar.
Hi, I had picked up a 30cm male red devil/midas yesterday and the previous "owner" told me that it had been feeding pellets and never have live foods before. <

>they are so similar that you will prob never find a true one of either, all the ones we have in oz are pretty much crossed.<

jamie had it in a 4ft with an oscar I am pretty sure so I think it should be ok with the others.. just keep an eye on it<

>you may be lucky and have got one of the nicer ones
Well everyone is kind of close the Midas is (Amphilophus citrinellus) and the other kind is (Amphilophus labiatus) It has big lips and is hard to mistake im sure there are some other varuients but none of them are really recognised. <

>I cant put anything in with my red devil he even mauls the pleco. You could be lucky and have a nice one but then its just trial and error. Just because they have never eaten live foods before doesnt mean they wont just kill it for the hell of it.
