Convict

[Fishy Jon]

I want to get a convict cichlid, but i dont no how big they get and if they can go with the fish I have. Can any1 help me.

 

[smb]

They get up to 6"

if they can go with the fish I have.

If you mean the setup you have in your sig, then no, a con will either terrorize or kill every fish you have.

 

[Eelzor]

yes, take my experience from convicts, they are not very nice colours and quite aggresive. I have them now but probably have to sell them soon.

 

[Fishy Jon]

ok, but is there any other cichlid i can get with my setup

 

[FrankSlapperinni]

you could probably get a ram of some type.

 

[juanveldez]

any of the apistogramma species would work.

I disagree Eelzor, i think they are great colours, especially the pinks, and until they breed they are quite docile. My biggest reminds me of a bull charging around the tank, he's cool. That said if you get them they are quite hard to get rid of. I managed to get rid of 20 fry to a lfs but losing the parents is proving a problem.
