It's a 230 gallon 60 by 30 by 30. I'm recording from the side of it. Yea. I'll remove him tomorrow. Only have 1 tank at my parents house.
 
He doesn't seem that aggressive towards her to me. At his size and strength, he could really do some damage to her if he wanted to. If he is accepts tankmates and a little gill flaring and posturing are the limit of his aggression, I would leave it alone. Removing him and leaving him in a tank on his own for an extended amount of time may make it impossible to reintroduce him to a community setting in the future. My Midevil would have killed that entire tank in a few days. If you do move him, don't put that large Midas in a 55 gal for long. Are you trying to get the BP and Midas to breed?

He's been alone all his life (75 gallon for the first 8 years, then 55 for 4 months). He hasn't really shown any aggression towards any of his tank mates so far, and I've had him in there for a week. I think the reason he's not aggressive is because he's old and there is room in there for everybody lol he's only aggressive towards me :( I have to wear gloves when putting my hands in the water which is very inconvenient.
 
I know what you mean about them going after hands in their tank. It's a pain during water changes. I would leave it alone but monitor it closely. Things can go from good to bad fairly quickly with large cichlids. You have a very interesting mix in there too. It's not something I would do, but it still is different.
