Update on the Midas.
They battled each other in my 100 gallon tank. So I had to separate them. Placing one of them into a 55 gallon. But it had to be euthanized.
The tank had a divider. But while I was at work, they broke it down.
The photo above is act with them both on the same side of that tank.
The dominant Male, I rehomed on Craigslist.
They can't be re released into the wild and that guy needed more room. He splashed about like Shamu the killer whale!
So, the whole catching and keeping Midas cichlids was a bad idea.
However, I am currently building two identical 1,100 gallon outdoor ponds and my plan is to give it another try.
They are beautiful.
And they are invasive.
Maybe I can remove a few more and keep them successfully with a better and more realistic plan.
