convict pros and cons

I think he means once introduced to the tank, convicts don't play around.
I've heard of 2" cons taking out full grown oscars. Are your P's very aggressive at anything that falls in the tank?

A full grown oscar will swallow a 2" convict like nothing. Convicts are tough but come on, your stretching things out of proportion.

You would be better off over the long run to get your P's to take pellets.

It's simply what I've heard, not what I've seen.
I can belive it if it was a breeding pair protecting young, they really get nasty at that time.

You'll end up with convicts living in your pirhana tank. Convicts are the great survivors...Convicts are hard as nails, pirhanas are pussies...

If convicts had thumbs they'd RULE THE WORLD! Convicts are the BEST!
