I'm going to be taking out my gymno balzani for a winter cool off in an unheated tank so I'll need another aggression spreader/dither whatever ya wanna call it, don't want my nasty little IT dat messing with my Orino pbass too much lol.

Looking for something colorful, doesn't have to be large growing but for sure not small and not flighty, something that will stand its ground. If a fish is flighty with my red wolf it tends to get chased and bit. It can get as large as 20 inch or a bit more in the long run. My 70 is a grow out.

Down for cichlids (really like the red severum) if they arent too territorial, or weird oddballs

I've been hunting around for a creni of some sort for a while but I'd rather not go with a sax group so they're sort of expensive and haven't had the chance to snag one yet. Hopefully sometime soon, never really put much thought into the larger predatory gobys like the jades I'll have to look into em! Thanks for the input

How big of a fish can a jade fit in its mouth? Would it be comparable to an equal sized red wolf? I just dont want my dat and pbass to be lunch lol

I have a red severum with a blue acara, rope fish, pictus cats, and some odessa barbs. The red severum is the biggest fish in the tank and the only fish he will be a little territorial to is the blue acara (must be a cichlid thing). But I have never seen him bite or attack the blue acara, just quickly swims torwards him end the blue acara backs off. As long as your wolf doesn't bother the severum too much you should be ok. I would recommend severums to anyone, they look amazing, have a great personality, and aren't aggressive. Mine always begs for food when he sees me
 
Cool! I was hoping someone would chime in about sevs, the wolf doesn't bother things too much like I said though, if they stand their ground. Hopefully a severum would lol. They are some gorgeous cichlids, I have a feeling that will be the rout I take since they usually have red sevs at my LFS, never saw a jade goby around here. Hopefully it works out
