Convicts can grow to eight inches, so they take up quite a bit of room. I don't know if dither fish are needed, I suppose you might be able to add a school of barbs. The cichlids would probably ignore them, I think. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Then you will also have more stocking options. Make sure you watch out for aggression levels if they decide to breed. For good reference on smaller fish and some of the bigger ones with plenty of pics go here http://www.tangledupincichlids.com/photo.html]http://www.tangledupincichlids.com/photo.html[/link] Plus if you order from the guy who runs this site (Jeff Rapps) you get quality fish I just got two of these guys in three days ago [link=my fish Last edited by lil-fishy at 05-Oct-2004 23:27

The first option works... but the convicts will move the plants all over the place... Convicts rarely get more than 6 inches... a pair will be fine in a 4 foot tank but any additional convicts will eventually mean trouble.
