hello everybody. :) my fiirst post.

I have one RT and 2 GT, 2 tiger oscar and 1 firemouth+ 1 midas + 1 peco in my 120 g tank. Ironically the smaller Firemouth is the king right now. he chases every body. the two GTS are least agreesive being chased by everyone except the pleco.


Will they be able to live together in the long run?
 
It's a crap shoot with large SA cichlids. They may do great in the long run and get along fine. Or they may turn on each other and have you running for a divider. Just watch things closely.
 
They can stay together for a little while but when they grow up, it's going to be too many fish. Just the two Oscars along with a pleco will fill it up pretty good along with some dithers...and maybe another cichlid.
 
I don't know about the firemouth/midas combination... That could get ugly fast as the midas grows and becomes more aggressive.
 
I agree that midas is going to make short work fire mouth you should wastch closly when they get bigger post pic's.
 
Midas does not do well in my tank. The current one is the fourth midas in my tank in 3 months. They seem to get ich very easily. this one shows signs of ich already. After I put them in the hospital tank and they died one by one. How come the other fish like oscars and GTS dont get the white spot on their body but the midas is so vulerable?
 
never heard of that before..
 
I would watch that Red Terror, that and the Midas will eventually take over the tank and possibly kill the other tank mates, even each other. but being that they are raised together, you never know.
