My 4 inch festae.

I bought 2 of these guys about 3 months ago at 1 inch. The other festae is at 2 inches because it was bullied by the big one. I put the bigger festae into my big cichlids tank with a 14 inch Midas, 16 inch clown knife and a 12 inch peacock bass. Should I be worried? Should I put him back into the 55 gallon until he grows a bit bigger? None of them have ever been fed live, all are eating pellets.

I thought about doing the same with my festae so i tried my 3 1/2 in che firemouth first and he was gone in secs. Got eaten by my 10 inch pike. I wouldnt chance it
 
I tried to put a smaller fish (can't remember what type right now) into my 265 about 18 months ago with my Peacock Bass and it ate the fish over night. The Peacock Bass was about 9" or so and the other fish was around 3". Also, how aggressive is your Midas??


I think the little fish was a Salvini... maybe.

My Midas is a gentle giant. He wouldn't harm anything that doesn't pose a threat.
 
As long as they are not beating on him then I would leave him in there.
