well,
i think you should look at popular sites to realize how large these fish are going to get. if i were you i would be looking at blue cobalts, johannis, yellow labs,and albino cichlids. the fish you are looking to keep are to big.

Are you saying this site isn't popular.I"d say 55 would be the bare minimum. Not all GT's grow to 12". My male of 8 years died at 10". He started out in a 55 but I moved him to a 156 later.
Here my opinion:
Ditch the midas/rd, I have a 120 that couldn't house a midas/rd without stressing the entire tank out. Wait until that fish gets to 7 inches, they go insane.
Option 1: Keep the GT, they are absolutely some of the coolest fish ever IMO. Get a couple of pictus cats and grow that puppy out. This would be best in a 75, but a 55 will do IMO.
Option 2: Keep the JD and add a pair of convicts or firemouths. I had a female JD with with a pair of cons that did great in a 55.
If I had to choose today, I would keep the GT. My JD seemed to like its cave and wasn't out as much as GT's that I have seen. My neighbor currently has a GT that is 4-5 inches and absolutely stunning.
If you are like most of us, one tank isn't enough. You might start checking around town for a used 75 or bigger. So many fish, so little space!!!

You are more likely to see better interaction with a GT, I have a group of young GT's that I am trying to pair off and a 5" JD. The JD is more timid in comparison wheras the GT's will eat from your hand.
Can't comment on the midas i'm afraid

I think the Midas should have a bigger home. 55g when full grown might seem cramped.
The other two you could keep together in the tank (although I had to give my dempsey to a friend a few weeks ago because my female gold saum was beating her so bad).
