convict cichlid in outdoor pond

[libingboy]

I was planning to release some convict cichlids in my outdoor pond. I'm in SE asia but am 1500 m above sea level. temp probably goes down to about 60F during dec-feb. Can the convicts tolerate it? We've tried tilapia sub-adults before and they were able to tolerate the temp.

Yes. They can tolerate that. Assuming that that's as low as it goes.

It's not more than a week since I've put my convicts to pond, they have already spawned. Now they are territorial and aggressive towards others..

How about mid 50s?

It might survive. If the temp stays around high 60's . Mid 50's is too low they will die. After a few days.

Cons are hilarious. You should keep a predator in a tank and feed them CONS once a year as a treat!
