I have an aquarium with a JD, Midas, + Tiger Oscar. At first there was a JD + GT, but I moved the GT to a different tank when I introduced the TO. For a while it was just the JD (who at first was bigger than the TO) and the TO, but then the TO got 2x the size of the JD. And my tank still seemed a little lonely, so I just added a Midas about a week ago thinking that since it was a Midas it could fend for itself (it being about 2/3 the size of the TO). But for the first week the TO terrified my poor Midas into hiding into a single cave of my aquarium all the time and never eating. So yesterday I totally changed my decor around and now my Midas has claimed its territory and is able to fight off my TO when need be! :headbang2:
 
Soon your Midas may take over the whole tank. They are usaully quite aggressive and Oscars are rather peaceful(compared to a Midas)
Awhile back I had a 10" oscar with a 6" midas. I figured the size difference would compensate the aggression. I was wrong the Oscar was so scared he jumped out of the tank taking the hood and light with him.
What size are your fish and tank?
 
I have a pair of midas, 10" one was a rescue and my 6" one I got from a guy that had it in with five 10" Oscars. It killed 2 of them and ripped up a third before he decided that he had to get rid of it.

My 10" bites me and makes me bleed when I have to move stuff around in the tank.

To say that midas are aggressive is a bit of an understatement.

Anyone know where I can find a shark feeding glove?
 
A dive shop, or online supplier.
