| billyspans Banned Posts: 59 Kudos: 48 Votes: 0 Registered: 23-Jun-2005  | Both a green terror and a jewel would go with the convicts as long as they are a similar size. Do you know if they are a mating pair? Two fish that go well with my convict are a salvinis cichlid and a spiny cichlid. www.fishprofiles.com/files/profiles/spinosissimus.xm |

Dafridge  Enthusiast Posts: 154 Kudos: 113 Votes: 17 Registered: 16-Jul-2003  | in the past when ive had convicts they become very territorial(sp?) over their caves and tunnels. or whatever they hang out in during their leisure time. |

| kace Small Fry Posts: 8 Kudos: 6 Votes: 0 Registered: 27-Jul-2005 | yeh mine are like that but not too bad. the larger one has already killed of a 5 inch oscar. so anything u think that might work with them? |

| angeleel Fish Addict Posts: 561 Kudos: 472 Votes: 61 Registered: 08-Feb-2005  | I'd say no if you fish killed a 5 inch oscar my guess is that it will kill off everything you put in there. I find these fish are best off to keep alone, as with how protective they get. Sorry to say, Angel Eel |

| Dafridge Enthusiast Posts: 154 Kudos: 113 Votes: 17 Registered: 16-Jul-2003 | update to my last post. my convict that was living all and well w/ my africans is now trying to bite at them. so he is now headed for the LFS. |

| kace Small Fry Posts: 8 Kudos: 6 Votes: 0 Registered: 27-Jul-2005 | other than the oscar, he is fine with my tetras, tiger bards and my rainbow shark when i had it in there which i were all added after the convicts (except the oscar). so i guess another cichlid is a no no  |

Wingsdlc  Fish Guru What is this? Posts: 2332 Kudos: 799 Registered: 18-Jan-2005  | I have been wanting to get something new for my 55 to hang with my convicts but I just haven't wanted to risk it. Besides most of the fish I want to put in there get too long for my 55 19G Container Pond [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/Wingsdlc/Ric |

| JYJason Hobbyist Posts: 117 Kudos: 90 Votes: 1 Registered: 01-Aug-2005 | I have kept Jack Dempseys of similar size in with my convicts. However, I do not have them in with a breeding pair. |
