Convict Cichilid And Small Shoal Of Corry's

[Mako Man111]

Will a single Convict Cichlid be able to coexist with say 3 or 4 corries in a 20 US gallon tank?

No... it will definitely kill them all.

you already asked if a convic could go in a 20 and i sed it was too small.

so why would it fit with corys?

I've been reading up on them, and it said 25 gallons was enough for a pair, so I figure 1 should be alright in a 20.

The problem would be between the convict's territory on the one hand and the corys, who don't understand the concept of territories, on the other.

25g isn't enough for a pair.. 25g isn't really enough for even 1..

Convicts will kill cories in most tank sizes. Even if the tank is 100g

Well once I heard a convict could go in a 10 gallon too. Yeah that wasnt very accurate. Dont believe everything you hear/read trust me. Always get a second opinion. I once had one or two convicts dont really remember, but I put a pleco in with them that was about 4-5 inches, this was the most dicusting thing I have seen for the most part. The cons ate his eyes ! The pleco swam around eyeless for about an hour or 2 then died. I definatly wouldnt put cories in with one.
