the GT will need at least a 55 gallon tank, they CAN get up to 10+ inches. So the 30 is too small. The way i see it, you dont have room for both the JD and the GT in your tanks. You should either get one larger tank (or temp tank if they are still small), or find one a new home. Now that i think about it, a female GT or JD would probably be okay in a 4-foot 40 gallon. Untill you can invest in one, though, the situation is not good. How big are both fish?

Nelson, we've spent a great deal of time explaining all of this to them in chat. More of a never ending circle. :/

Well thats good. They have a bit of time before they are big enough to deplete each others territory, and it will give you a few months to work out the solution. I really touched on your possible solutions in my last post, so please refer to that for info.
