A 5" Midas/Red Terror from Petsmart!

I have been planning a 240 CA/SA for a while and started a few strategic growing tanks. I purchased a bunch of juvenile cichlids sizes proportionate to growth and aggression levels. My husband took interest in these aggressive fish and bought one to add to the collection. This big fella sorta blows everything out of the water. Yikes!

PIC HERE: MIDEVIL

I split them up the best I could and, cross my fingers, everyone still has their fins. What I believe to be a she hasn't done more than taken a couple good charges at her smaller tankmates. She's in with 2 3" GT's (M/F not paired yet), a JD, a decent sized Salvini, and 2 syno's who know when to hide. The 240 is not ready, so they are stuck in a 55 until then.

Ps. The loaches and unmentioned cichlids are in other tanks.

How's a Midas/RD for a honey-I'm-home surprise? Why couldn't he have gotten a puppy instead?

DEVIL
lol, great pickup. i got mine from petsmart too. i do hope you quarintined him though. but any way good luck and i hope you love your new fish.:D
 
Yes, I meant DEVIL. I'm so flustered about the whole ordeal I forgot wtf I'm talking about. I do actually know the difference. *embarassed*

I'll like it just fine as long as (s)he doesn't eat everyone else. What do you all think? It looks like a pretty decent looking fish to me.

its ok, i couldnt resist, lol.
yeah it looks pretty healthy. i dont think it could eat any fish over an inch and a half. however it could kill it. gl;)
 
If all you have is a 55 available, why are you (or your hubby) buying more fish? If the 240 is not ready, I do not think you are ready for more...
 
but if it eats your other fish it should grow quite rapidly, ;) jk shouldnt have a problem, sounds like its just sorting out that its the top of the totem pole.
