Rite i have had convicts in the past all have been eventualy eaten or killed by my oscars as i have a 8'X3'X3' that been set up over 3yrs with 6 oscars 538 gal the mix in there works fine 6 oscars (2breedin pairs) 1flowerhorn 3jack dempseys 1 tiger shovelnose catfish 3 sailfin plecos works fine till i try addin convicts then for sum reason it all gose fine for say a month or 2 then with out fail you will look at tank and a convict will be dead with no signs of been attacked an i always blame my oscars as they are the most aggressive fish it he tank and kick all the other fishis arses.
So i was thinking i have a 33 gal thank i am turnin from a breedin tank back to a normal tank it worked be for but will it work agin is what i wonna kno when i first got the 33 gallon tank i set up up with few neon tetras 1 6" male convict 2 female blood parrots unknown malawi cichlids and an angle fish.
currenty in the 33gallon there is 5 cardinals 1 bristlenose pleco 1.5"/2" 2 german rams and 7 female guppies and i wanna kno if i ad a 0.5/1" convict to the 33gallon would it work if it was to grow up arround these fish as b4 i had no problems at all except it harrased parrot fish. As alot of people i asked be it on forums like this or lfs the all have diffrent things to say some say yes would deffo work and others say deffo not and sum say there like oscars a law un to them selves but would a female work better as there smaller.

PLESE POST AS MUCH INFO AS YOU CAN
 
Well, here's your answer..

Don't put a convict in the 33 gallon, not with cardinals, rams and guppys; the convict is far too aggressive. Simple as that :)
 
Ash... I will agree with fluttermoth on this issue, even if your Convicts are currently less than 1", they will definitaly become dominant to the demise of all other fish in your tank.
