anything you put in a tank with a PAIR of convicts is going to be killed. Convicts get very nasty when breeding I would not add anymore fish to that size tank with the cons unless you want trouble. I have trouble keeping my con from beating on my Jd and she is only half the jds size.
not true, put a lot of boundaries, ie: plants rock caves, anything that breaks sight between the cons and whatever u decide to put in

He is right they can get absolutely friggin gigantic, and easily weigh over 100 lbs. The are a free swimming cat and will damage their noses and eyes in any store bought glass tank. I have heard that they like to school as well, but not sure about that, but anyways don't get it. If your convicts are breeding, they will attempt to terrorize almost any fish you put them with, even if the new fish is bigger. If they are not breeding, I would suggest salvini or sajicas

This may be true in a larger tank but a 55 gallon he is going to have trouble....trust me they wiil take over 90% of that tank during spawning no matter what you have in there for decor. I have bread cons over the years and they just dont tolorate tank mates during spawning.
definetlea jack. one of my favorites. they can be relatively mellow but when they need to they can defintely hold there own. usually dont have to own the whole tank.
