i got a gt today that has put my con in its place. but my salvini is getting hammered bead be the con. I am almost at my limit with the con and am thinking of getting rid of it. i have rearranged the tank numerous times but it hasn't done anything. i have taken the con out to allow the other 2 to settle in but that makes it worse too. I don't think a divider will help either. the con is 3-4 inches including tail. the salvini is 3-3.5 inches including tail. the gt is 4-5 inches including tail. (gt is good with the salvini. and have taken salvini out until i can do something with the con).
 
Convicts are usually best with much bigger fish... anything close to their size is at risk :)
 
Why wouldnt a divider help? I use those from time to time and if the aggressive fish cant get to the others its a pretty surefire way to solve the problem
 
I have a Texas and Frontosa that keep those little convicts in line really easy.

its a 75 gallon. im going to my lfs today to get a divider. im going to have the salvini and gt together and the con be herself because the salvini and gt get along
 
I think my peacock bass would like a new convict friend ;)
 
Our if he wants to share with fish of a similiar size... or smaller - why not Neetroplus nematopus :drool:
