Single Convict Cichlid In A Community Tank?

[TimNorwich]

I am posting in this section as I am not sure what sort of Cichlid they are.

I have found a really nice Pink Convict that somebody I know has, it's a good 5inches, I have never seen a pink one before, let alone this size.

I wondered if he would be okay in a community tank with Golden Barbs, Flame Gouramis and 2 Kribensis.

I am aware that they are agressive when they breed, but wondered if they are un-agressive when kept on their own?

Thankyou.

The size of your tank would be a factor in determining the answer to this query.

My gut reaction would be no, but I'd also probably steer clear of the Kribs as well.

It's a Rekord 800, that's 110L.

I also really like the Kissing Gourami, these look very similar when big.

I breed pink convicts and I tried to keep them in a communiy tank alone. It worked for a little while. They get very territorial. My tank was a 55 gallon so if I were you, I wouldn't do it. But if you do try it, be ready to remove the convict if it shows signs of agression. I'm not sure about the kissing gourami. Do they have blue eyes like the pink convicts?

You breed them? Sounds cool, do you need 2 pink ones? Would it be possible to breed a normal with a pink to produce pink ones? Thankyou.
