This is a very typical reaction in a tank but the fish do not do this in the lakes because the female would leave. We study these fishes underwater, they are amazing to watch. Jeffrey McCrary, Laguna de Apoyo Nature Reserve, Nicaragua.

@dkjadem this is a male, he also kills all tank mates, its typical of a male that size to like to rule, and be aggressive i have another midas and he is even more aggressive.

I have a midas just like that and I can't keep any tank mates with this one either. Looks just like yours. Do you know if yours is a male or female?

@Ricine
when u feed them try to be playful to him/her, and as they get older feed them small pieces of shrimp, eventually when they like it, u can hand feed them and they become very playful...let them chase ur hands outside the tank etc..

the best way.. is to mix a female that is quite a bit smaller, and then create a separator in the tank with a hole where she can fit only and this way they will mate, and then she can retreat to her safe area of the tank and he can't pass thru, and then she will live and have her babies.

I just bought another Midas hoping that it was a female about the same size, but I put it in with the male and he dominates....You think that there is any chance of haveing them mate? Or do think that one will just kill the other?

@dkjadem if you do not separate them, he will eventually kill her.,
