Can you keep a female convict in a community tank?

[doomiedee]

OK guys, I'll add the con last and if he starts nipping and attacking fish I'll remove him. If I ever decide to not get the convict, Could you put a firemouth in there? Would they be less aggressive?

Yeah a firemouth could go in there but you might have to take a fish or 2 off the list to accomidate for its full growen size.

Theyre less aggressive but get a little bigger.

Yeah, I think I'll go with the con, That's if I have enough space, What do you guys think? Is it overstocked?

It might I would take out the 12 or 15 tetra and put 4 or 5 larger tetras. Like black , black phantom,bleeding heart, emperor or congo tetras. Even a small group of all of these.Take out the loaches for 2 or 3 angelicus pictus or 5 bengal loaches cause the clown loaches will reach about 12" and will eventually need to big with equal sized fish. And remove the rams to avoid conflict with the con.

I'm not worried about the clowns since they take a hell of a long time to grow.

I think a group of 6 Congo tetras are better.

i've kept plenty of cons over the years and i absolutely love them, i've got a single male at the moment and he doesn't bother anyone other than the odd chase.
in my experience a single con is fine it's when you have a pair they turn into monsters.

I've done it before in my 55g along time ago it worked but every con would have a diff personality
