CichlidFish.com - Fish That Think.

Im thinking about buying a new tank for some convict but i wanted to know if i could put other fish in the tank with them . Like normal every day fish like i dont know guppies and other gental fish?

No they get too territorial for calm fish

eh..the convicts will nibble at the happy community fish slowly until they die. every sad. if you want A convict, with other tankmates, consider medium sized agressive cichlids (jewel cichlids, salvini, firemouths, etc). notice how i sayd A convict. if you add two of them, they'll be breeding in a second and kill any other fish in the tank.

They breed like rabbits

Yeah species tank is generally the way to go with these guys, especially if breeding is a future prospect... if you want more then one and dont want to breed try 2 female, they probably wont be so aggressive.
