 | Convicts Or Jewel Cichlids?? |
Badgers034 Hobbyist Posts: 59 Kudos: 23 Votes: 4 Registered: 15-Feb-2006   | I have a 29 gallon tank. I want a solitary mean cichlid. Which would be more likely to eat some dwarf zebra danios (about 1.25 in.) a convict or jewel cichlid?? Which will be bigger?? |

They both can be mean though so its up to you. Good luck with your choice |
