I used to have two Jack Dempsey but had to give them up because all they did was fight and tear each other up. They were both about 8inches big and there were distinct territories in the tank.
There was a dominant one but both looked pretty beat up, as they would fight and never back down until I broke it up. Even if I put my hand in the tank, they would fight. Needless to say this was depressing.
Now I have 3 very small Green Terrors and two Midas' that are about twice the size of the Green Terrors. The tank is about 70gal (I'll upgrade once they get bigger). I didn't know anything about Midas' but when I saw it I had to get two. Now I'm kinda regretting it because G. Terrors are very cool, personable fish and from what I've learned Midas are way more aggressive and get much bigger.
What are your suggestions? Is this a workable setup or will I have the same problem I had with my Jacks?... the only thing to survive the JD's was my 8inch Pleco.
Thanks again,
Michael
