Are Black convicts aggressive when they have fry??? I heard they are like rabbits and easy to breed. How big do they have to be in order to breed 4inches?
 
Mine bred at just under two inches in a 15g. Some can kill but some can be mellow, just depends on the fish. I would say the majority are aggressive. You cant stop a male and female from breeding.
 
Everyone said buy african cichlids when i started. I wish i got more central they are alot more laid back and chilled. Africans don't stop darting
 
Yes, very much so, and they can also get aggro towards each other at different points of the breeding process so keep an eye on them

They only need to be about an 1 1/2" to breed. I have heard of females being sexually mature even smaller.

Good luck, hope this helps
 
my friend had some that breed every month and there about 2 and a half in. They chase away all the other fish that come near the eggs even his jag. but hes still small
