CONVICT BACK FROM THE DEAD!!!!!!

Convict Win.

Whenever I read advice to new fish keepers it always seems like we make cichlids sound so fragile, but IME and from what I've seen and heard from many others, the majority of cichlids are very resilient. With that said, resilient or not, that is pretty incredible for a fish to survive a tank with no filtration, no aeration, no food, and no heater in a 50-60 degree environment for 2-3 days after it appeared non-breathing and still.

My advice is to never get rid of or sell that fish.

AHHHH ZOMBIE CONVICTS!! not only will they take over your tank but now they COME BACK FROM THE GRAVE!!! but seriously that is actually really cool, guess its a lesson learned to make sure fish is totally dead before throwing it out next time haha why did they "die" in the first place, was something up with the water? maybe if you fix this then he will start to eat again and stop trying to suck the loach's blood lol

and +1 on not ever selling that fish, it has to bring you some kind of good luck after surviving something like that!!

I was only kidding about selling it to a store for $60, I wouldnt sell something like this after it survived a trial like that. However i wasnt joking that i think its a vampire

Convicts are invincible. I work at a fish store and a lady came in saying she accidently dropped soap in the tank with convicts
she left it like that for a week and they were fine. rofl. convicts are def trooper fish

I bought them from petco and when i got home they were biting each other (i figured it was just a territorial dispute) and finally one killed the other but then after that it stopped eating and the next day i "thought it was dead". The water was perfect i checked it before i put them in and the temperature was between 80 and 81 degressees

I always wondered what would have happened if they buried a fish in the Pet Sematary...now I know. Undead con.
