OK well i have a few questions on my RD/Midas.

1) Based on these pictures can you tell if i have a midas or a red devil. Because i really
cannot tell.

2) Also what type of fish would go well with my RD/Midas in a 100gal?

At the moment it appears more RD, but then again they look very similar as juveniles. However, it's almost guaranteed to actually be a mix of the two species. It's basically impossible to get one that isn't unless you order a specific pure breed from a very reputable breeder/supplier. As it matures, it will take on the appearance of one more than the other.

What are the dimensions of the 100gal? Tank mates - likely nothing when it matures, but it will really depend on the temperament of your fish. There are some that are a bit more mellow than the rest, and your odds improve greatly if it's a female, but most are very aggressive.

how can i tell if it is a male or female ?

It's too young/small right now...once they hit about 4-5" they're typically pretty easy to sex. Just requires venting them...there are no physical appearance differences that accurately sex them.

im sorry i am new to keeping fish... but what is venting? :fish:

Basically checking their reproductive organs to tell male from female. There's an article on venting in the library of this site, I believe.
