Midas Cichlid Information
The Midas
Cichlid is one of the most
beautiful cichlids of Central America. Its outer
appearance, which can vary in color immensely from one specimen to the
other,
as well as the huge frontal hump of the males has rendered him a very
popular
tank fish; there are many Midas Cichlid fans especially in North
America and
Asia. However, you should not underestimate this fish, which can stand
up very
easily! This species knows how to fight it out with its strong mouth
and its
brawny shape.

Your Midas Cichlids and
Midas Stories!
I am the proud mom to a
15 year old Midas we
call Goldie
and sometimes, Fred. Fred after Fred Flinstone because of his love of
rearranging his stones. I'd love to add some pictures of our big guy.
He's
in a 75
gallon tank, and his tank mates are a 5 year old Oscar named. Oscar.
He and Goldie/Fred are the best of buds most of the time but every once
inawhile they go to fisty-cuffs. {Goldie has also bitten me and once
even drew blood and left 3 small puncture wounds on my right wrist. But
for the most part he is quite a gentle giant. } His other tankmate is a
Jack Dempsey, 3 small plecos and 1 apple snail.

I caught this lil fellow named rascal during an annual fishing
competition at the local golf club pond. I wanted to feed it to my
arowana at first but it started nipping my arowana's tail which
surprised me so i decided to buy a new aquarium for rascal. it begged
for food the very next day i caught it. very interactive fish!!
At first we thought our midas was a male. We named it Klaus. But it
suprised us by laying eggs all day 2/6/09. Yet, it's the only Midas in
our tank. We have other Convicts, Jack Dempsey, and Oscars in the same
tank. We bought the Midas when it was about 4 inches long. It grew very
fast and is now about 7 or 8 inches long. We've had it for about 4
months.
Is it possible our Midas could have cross bred with the other
cichlids? Or perhaps the eggs were never sterilized? I didn't think a
fish would ley eggs unless it had mated. Can a fish believe it's mated
if it's been seeing it's reflection in the glass?
Thank you for the nice story!
Good luck with your fish :-)
