Common 120g with a 4' X 2' footprint?
I'd be more likely to try Firemouth pair with one end of tank decorated with driftwood tangles than JD with rock work caves.JD are generally more territorial than Firemouth,and usually talking two of something means pair,so if any breeding occurs that 8 sq.ft. of floor space can get small quick (especially with larger species). Of course it all depends on individual cichlid personality.
Just think about it.
