Delhezi bichir eat Convict cichlid?

[Sizzy905]

I have a 3.5-4 inch con right now and I have my eye on a 12 inch delhezi bichir? does the con have any chance or should i forget about the bichir? any experience with these two fish? tank is 75 gallons. the convict is all i have right now.

I think ur risking it. Unless the fish is wide enough and tall enough not to be able to fit in its mouth. Could wait to get a smaller delhezi.

Everyone worries about the con, lol. What about the del? Ive owned some pretty mean little convicts that took on much bigger fish. I had one that stripped the fins off multiple pleco tankmates. Dels can be pretty easy going and I could see this little con not liking where the del was sitting and nip at his fins and biting it constantly. I know its a 75g but still I trust the del more than the convict.

If it's a male I agree with the above statement, and if it is a male at 4 inches you shouldn't have to worry about him being a meal. A female on the other hand, might get eaten
