I've not seen either of these fish before, very good looking fish. Beautiful finnage on the 5 spot.
the 5 star general is getting beat up by my grammode still. i hope he starts to settle in soon. he fights back a little then runs away. hope they tolerate each other after a while.

Grammodes are not pushovers either. They have big teeth and know how to fight guerilla warfare style and can take out larger fish than themselves. My Grammodes half the size of my Dovii would give him hell. He would hide then attack him from the side, then hide and attack.....repeat lol. A former female Grammy killed my female Festae much larger than her. I was so pissed off....
I don't think it's going to work. I have found that Hemichromis only work well with other Hemichromis they are raised together with. They really can't be kept with anything else unless you believe in acceptable losses. Plus their patterns are similar. They see each other as competition.
What sized tank do you have all those in? And is the big orange a midas or red devil? Just curious.
the big orange is a midas. i think it's female. it's a 100g growout. the aggression level is not bad, but when i put the 5 star in there. the grammode hated him right away. i don't know if it's because he's new or if he looks similar to the grammode so he sees him as competition. the other fish pretty much leave the 5 star alone.
