Ok, those fish in the first picture are beautiful...that purple is amazing. I think I want some. So they are convicts...what kind of convicts? Or is that just the common name for them? (Sorry, but I'm a real dope when it comes to Cichlids, so don't laugh at my newbie-ish questions. ) )

And I love those Clowns! How big are yours? They look pretty huge!

Those cons are beautiful , and again , not dyed , but those little guys can be brutal during courtship ,and, not not very nice to live plants either
They are the aquariums ....bulldozer , sometimes as well . Mine piled gravel half way up the side of their tank



Blue ice , as usual , great pics

Convict Cichlids - Archocentrus nigrofasciatum

I'd never laugh...I'm new to cons myself


They are amazing little fish and live up to the reputation...nothing stands in their way...lol


Thanks all

Almost forgot the largest clown is approx 4 1/2 inches.

Thanks so much for the scientific name BlueIce. I'm honestly thinking of starting up a tank around those guys...just amazing looking fish. I used to have Black Convicts when I was younger...didn't know what they were though till only about a year ago. Nasty little buggers. But I think I want to get back into the Cichlid business.

Nice size on the Clowns! Do the other fish bother them at all or are they not with the Cichlids?

I love those clown loaches!! I have 5, but they are comparitivley ickle at the moment.

The clowns are in with firemouths,sajica,topaz,nic,chocolate cichlids...they aren't bothered at all.

More clownie pics

Those convicts of yours are an albino form of convict X Hodoran red points....just about the same species, exempt the amount of color they have! I have a female one of those(not albino) and a regular male....very pretty, only now have they been seperated as a different species(always use to be a differnet color morph)
very cool fish!

Sorry for hi jacking ,Blue Ice .

Arashi , May I suggest kribs , or some south American dwarfs , maybe apistos or one of the lateacara species unless you don't mind the fish moving whatever they can .

Convicts are great , interesting fish , but the may want to rearrange any aqua scaping the keeper may be particularly fond of when I said bull dozers , that came from experience , and good parents , ooh and fruitful If you get a breeding pair , they get busy , just add them to water . And fry baby fry

Most botia loaches have no problem with most like sized cichlids , sometimes the loaches win
