Never had an issue of aggression with the African Butterfly, but I would more watch the convicts for fin nipping.
No problem. Pantodon remain immobile under the surface and your great camouflage helps that it doesn't disturb from convict cichlids.
Depends on the tank size. Butterflies are only agressive with small bugs and tiny fish. If this is a small tank, it'll likely get, to quote the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, " straight up murderized" by the convicts, especially if their breeding. If the tank is larger, they probably won't even notice it.
the convicts would rip up the african butterfly. I had one for a while who was territorial, but didn't hunt down and kill anything.
depending on how big of a tank and i'm assuming this is a small one considering there's only 3 fish in it, the cons would be too aggressive toward it.
I don't think they're really aggresive...but they will eat smaller fish. They're notorious tank jumpers though.
Nice Reds too!!! Where'd y'all catch em???

I have an african butterfly fish in my 75 gallon community. I honestly forget he's in the tank sometimes until I look down and there he is.
Mine will eat flakes, pellets, krill, bloodworms..
He minds his own, and even when I had 2 others in the tank he didn't care. None of them did.
