A. citrinellus is the Midas cichlid, A. labiatus is the red devil.

oh ok, i am not very keen on the scientific names, thats just what one website said. that just promotes the idea you can't always trust the net.

take that to your grave! you most def. cannot believe everything you read online!

the best way to tell them apart is red devils usually have more elongated snouts with large lips. the only ones you will see with large lips are TRUE red devils! their lips are so large due to eating algae off of rocks in the wild causing the lips to swell.

midas' usually have a rounder face and a bit more of a nuchal hump.

thanks to all who participated in the identification of my beautiful red devil. Here he is now

He has lost his bars now and is almost all orange, you can see a bit of his bars barely. He is a BEAUTIFUL fish. Also quite calm from what red devils should be, he is only aggressive during feeding times. He has made wonderful friends with my oscar and jack dempsey. They tend to swim together for the most part.
