Friend gave me a 10 gallon with filter and lights, threw my convict pair in there. Went to the store and got them some plants and java moss. I have a 60 gallon, I want something in there thats small and will prey upon the convict fry and frozen food while the fry are growing. Is a 60 gallon big enough for any predator?

WHy not put the convict pair into the 60?

 

[sirasoni]

when you say small...how small are we talking about? like JD small? or like leaf fish small

put in a oscar!!!!!!!

that tank should be fine for life if he doesnt get to big

Any type of ok sized cichlid would make quick work of the fry (as long as their aren't a bunch of hiding spots).

narrow it down a bit more

in a 60 gallon you could do Jack Dempsey, Green Terror, or even a female Red Devil.

Go with a Green Terror. They look great.

My GT loves feeders too. He steals the majority of the feaders I try to feed my cuda. He is rutheless!

crayfish or something like leaf fish maybe? but the 10g is too small to add anything more than the convicts.

Oh no cichlids, I'm not too big a cichlid fan. I'm thinking specialized predator, somethhing that doesn't grow over 6 inches. Active is good.
