Midas killed Jag

I agree with Ryan. The other day I said to a poster once the lights go out they (his fish) should mellow out and then after I posted it I thought about what I had said I realized I gave bad advice and reposted that the op should remove the new fish to a different tank. The trouble usually starts shortly after lights out for an hour or two when the fish become very territorial and aggressive in low light conditions. Thats the risk you take when keeping similar sized highly aggressive fish together eventually somebody gotta go. Sorry for the loss.
Just a question when you say Midas is the fish Amphilophus Citronellas or is it a mix? The reason I ask is that Cits are generally more tolerant of tank mates (please note I said generally) where Labiatus or a mix of the two can be outright killers with zero tolerance, that will attack their shadow. Just curious.

strange,I don't have that issue in my tank,everyone goes into their spots at night time.Even when I had a Jaguar too,there wasn't a single issue still,until the lights were on instead,then the brawling of the Jaguar and Jack Dempsey started.
Wouldnt be surprised if the Argentea had something to do with that, either (depending on it's size). Those are some baaad fish. 
My fish have always did there damage during lights off,every time i hear a loud splash at nite im thinking ..what now will i wake up tooo....
I'm so sorry to hear this! It's not uncommon for Cichlids to turn on each other suddenly! I had a beautiful vieja regani that was beaten to death in the night. It's awful when its your prized fish!
No telling with him, you would most likely need a divider. I don't know your fish other than what I just read. He might be a rouge bull that wouln't allow anything with him. These fish have different personnalities what works for one could be a complete disaster for another.
