That was a while ago in a small cramped tank. I think a fire mouth would do just fine. A Midas would be to aggressive it would kill a Jd easy. I also think a Green Terror is to aggressive for the JD. But I believe a Salvini would work well! I would get 2 of any species though just because if they end up breeding even 2 small Salvinis will kill a JD.
Salvinis are more aggressive than GT's from what I have read. I cant say for sure because I have never owned a GT (don't really like them) but salvinis are one of the more aggressive cichlids. I have seen GT's successfully kept with JD's. I have a salvini and Fire mout hwith mine. However the Firemouth is much larger than both the JD and the salvini right now.
If this JD is really aggressive you do not want it with a firemouth. Firemouths are generally wussies. Don't get me wrong I love mine but they aren't that aggressive and cannot defend themselves against a JD.
Midas are more aggressive than JD's that is the whole point get one that is smaller than the JD and it might work.
What you want is fish that are more aggressive than your JD but smaller because this is his home turf, his established territory, and he will start something if he can. But you don't want something that will kill your JD. A smaller more aggressive fish will stand up to the JD but generally wont start something with the JD.
