Well, my friend is getting ready for a move and has to take down his tank. The bad thing is that we just set it up a couple months ago. He's gotten rid of all his fish but one and wanted to know if I wanted his 3" Midas. My fear is even though my 5" JD is two inches longer, will the Midas eventually catch up and then dominate the tank? Currently there is only the Pleco and the JD in my 75 (the Green Terror never panned out, died the day after my friend got him home before i could go pick him up). Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.
 
Your fear is justified, that's exactly what will happen.
 
That is what I was afraid of. I'll let him know that I won't be taking him up on the offer. Still looking for suitable convicts for my tank. All of the local stores seem to have a shortage of convicts right now.

Where in NC are you? I have some large & medium sized Honduran Red Points Id like to get rid of that would probably work in that tank. Im in Wilmington.

Hers a pic of one of the pairs. I have these from 'Rio Monga' and some larger ones from 'Rio Danli' .

there are usually cons in and out of the petco here, but then im here in wilmington as well, and yeah that midas will grow and dominate the tank and would need the entire 75g to himself eventually
 
Those Red Points are nice, you wouldn't be willing to ship would you? I live in Statesville and every Petsmart/Petco has been without convicts for about 3 weeks now. Really they haven't been getting any cichlids with any size on them at all (other than female JD's). With a lack of LFStores around here i'm not looking to have a spawning pair because i'll no where to off load them.
