WiseIves Enthusiast MbunaMbunaMbuna Posts: 237 Kudos: 180 Votes: 85 Registered: 24-Nov-2004	I have a Convict Cichlid in a long 20G that a friend gave to me along w/ a Bristlenose Pleco, my question is: is there any other fish that I could house w/ them & if they r, what do u suggest?

I got him b/c he was the odd man out in my buddies tank as he has two males & two females & they were constantly harrasing him. I believe he is the youngest of the 3 males as he has just recently grown to his current size. By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher. Socrates- I happen to have become a philosopher
