What size tank? One convict or a pair?

If it's a breeding pair they should really have their own tank. Otherwise they can be kept with similar sized cichlids whos aggression levels lie within the same range.

Convicts can be keept with a wide range of cichlids, from Oscars, to Red Devils, it all comes down to tank size really.

I would not recommend a red devil with a convict. Your convict will be destroyed. Red devils are the meanest fish alive. In a very rare case , maybe yours , a red devil can live with others ,usaully a female. Red devils seem like cute little fish as juveniles than at about 6-7 inches all hell breaks loose. Red devils usaully can not get along with other red devils. A red devil will desroy your convict and an oscar. Even if raised toghether as babies as the devil matures it will take the tank as his own .

I recomend a convict with a red devil/midas anyday, my agressive devil lives with 7 of them, they get along fine as long as they dont travel into his "patch"
