JD is too wussy he has a jag and i dont think he likes the midases.cichlid_25;1163245; said:yea add a jag or midas. or maybe even a jack dempsey.
he had silver dollars and dithers i think hes looking for a cichlid.Angler;1163481; said:Have you thought about adding non-cichlids at all? Silver Dollars, bichirs, barracuda, clown loaches all work with my aggressive cichlid in a 125.
Maybe a JD should be ok but jags, midas, and fastaes would easily own the GT eventually. So it's not a good idea to add something that is going to be more aggressive than the GT.
Here's something I have done before, add a bunch of all male convicts. They're cheap and easy to get, don't get them too big though.

My gt in my 125 is now the boss after the oscar and red devil were moved out , his aggression has gone way down. he now is with a jd,con,sev,2 fm and a school of tiger barbs.When the oscar was in the tank he was drawn like a magnet to him constantly beating him .the red devil wanted to be the leader and was beating everyone else.
yeah my oscar hated my GT soooo much. Would never leave him alone. The GT became a paranoid a-hole because of it and I had to give him away. He finally took a chunk out of my Os tail and ripped some pieces off all my Sd's fins (they will never be the same). My O was eventually going to kill him though. He was dive bombing him and there were some pretty close calls. Ping pong took him from me. It would be interesting to hear how he was doing. Anyway, don't recomend Os and GTs as a miz after my experience.
