dude... i LOVE convicts and all and though of having a pair in m 125 buuut when i lived in the apts on my own i had a 20 long divided with 2 pairs and boy that didnt look so good either.. even tho the tank was divided they still went after eachother! they never stopped going after eachother and flaring through the glass. stressing themselfs out and me to trying to figure out what to do with 2 pairs of cons... so i wouldnt advise haveing a pair with any other cichlids unless you want a blood bath or the tank is divided.... try a pair of sevs and ONE male convict..... and no the fish dont grow to there tank size or there water quility ( sp ) they grow tell there stunted in a smaller tank ( there outside stops growing but the inside keeps going and killing the fish slowly ) so in the 55 have a pair of sevs and 1 male convict with some dithers to distract them from aggression..
Just looking at your signature. You have all those fish in a 55 gallon? You know that soon you will only have a Jaguar or a Flowerhorn left right? Because it's gonna end in a bloodbath. And even just a Jaguar or Flowerhorn get too big for a 55.PayaraMan;4295168; said:My Con's are currently housed with an FH,Jag,and a GT

Lol thats why I'm selling most of em off, I've already gotten the overstocked bit and I don't need to hear anymore.
Yea you don't need to hear anymore but the only reason I started about your stock was because you are giving terrible advise to the original poster.PayaraMan;4295308; said:Lol thats why I'm selling most of em off, I've already gotten the overstocked bit and I don't need to hear anymore.

I was giving the example that Con's can live with highly aggressive cichlid tank mates, Also I'm not taking advice from a guy that tries to look like a muscle man in his Avatar which makes him look like a complete wanna be. Pretty damn pathetic.
