OK, after getting a jack dempsey for my 30 gallon I know too big of a fish for a 30g. But anyways I am going to return it to my LFS and get either a Jewel Cihhlid or a Convict. But i have some questions:

1. Which out of the two will eat small feeders about 1 or 2 inches?
2. Which will be more active?
3. Which will be a better predator?
4. Will a convict be able to be alone?? or do I need a pair?

i like convicts, but i haven't had a jewel.

but, my convicts(solo) aren't aggressive, and are friendly to the feeder, (pair) they tend to be the same, unless other fish are in the tank, than they will defend their breeding ground.

i personally like convicts(just got a bag of 15 1 hour ago, so i have a couple of pairs around) and i haven't found them to be the aggressive cichlid.
