I'm changing my stocking of my (8x2x2) tank and want to end up with a pair of big cichlids. Thinking Mi-Devils. Is going with six juvies the best bet?

If your after a compatible pair then 6 to 8 is your best bet.

Yup you've got the right idea. Would be a great size for a midevil pair. Might be able to get some convicts to live with them as well, especially when paired the little guys are incredibly tough. Would be an interesting tank with two pairs of different sizes.

Thanks for the replies! I'll try to get 8 and sell off the extras once I get a pair. I'm looking forward to having a tank with some activity.

It looks like I can get some that are 5-6". Is that too big to get a pair to form if I buy 6-8?
