I have a cycled 25 gallon And want a pair of convicts can I keep them short term in a 25 gallon ?

you can keep them in there for life if you like. to answer your question.....YES.

Yup. Just make sure you have a lot of hiding spots just in case the Male is ready to breed again, but the Female isn't.

Sweet I am guessing they would not get along with my four 2" electric blue cray fish ?

when they breed they will kill everything thats in the tank
thats why i just have my cons in a 10 gal with nothing in them

I had a breeding pair of regular in a 20log and my pinks in a 29gallon. They've always been fine accept for when the male wants to breed and the females not ready.

I agree wtih everything said above...its good for life if you want, and make sure there are hiding spots for the female so the male doesn't beat her up.
