I have a semi planted 40 breeder with lots of caves and ONE, 1 year old female convict which I love. Only problem is I'd like to have more cichlids but not a male convict because I dont want eggs, fry, etc.
I had her in there with a male Jewel, until it grew too big and started pushing her around. He was sold at auction earlier this evening because my convict is my favourite fish. Just wondering what my stocking options are although I realize there is no perfect answer. I have a breeding pair of rainbow cichlids in another tank that i dont want to split up but i know rainbow cic's are one option. Another is a firemouth, a salvini, a festivum?, acara?, Sajica? What fish or mix of fish (overstock a 40 breeder?) is the most likely to work with a relatively peaceful female convict?
Thanks for your time, everyone.
