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.

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.
