convict info please

[bad fish]

I want to buy a convict,for my cichlid collection,and put it with a pike cichlid(I think the pike is a johanna),a jack dempsey,an oscar,& a parrot cichlid.Are convicts the type of cichlid that kill everything?And can you help me out with my collection and name some other cichlids to go in my tank that don't get bigger than an oscar.Thanks

A convict should be fine with all the fish you mentioned. It is not the kind of cichlid that kills everything, but it certainly is tough. What size is your tank? You have a lot of aggressive cichlids and would need a fairly large tank to add anything else. If your tank size is ok, then I would recommend cichlids such as the green terror, salvini, or severum.

As long as you don't buy a breeding pair it should be okay if the tank will support it.

If you feel like getting rid of the rest of your fish by a mating pair. They'll take care of the other fish.
