dithers?

[Elgo_Sweettooth]

in a 20 long convict breeder tank, are they needed? and if so what would be a good fish to use, that wouldnt just get the crap kicked out of it and not be a problem as far as pestering the cichlids. like danios? or rosies? something along those lines? or are they really necessary? THANKS!

Not necessary.The convicts will fill up the tank without dithers

Yeah, I'd be more worried about my convicts not having enough space by themselves enentually! Just one pair correct?

agreed with the 2 posts above me...

however i was on the same boat as u were now, and bought 6zebra danios to fill up the top space... i liked it! they were both peaceful to each other, but when the frys started to gain up on inches... i needed to relocate my danios.

yes just 1 pair. i am gonna breed them for feeders to my larger tank.
i think they are intresting and from what i have read they are easy to start with if looking to ge tinto breeding fish

lol Convicts are the BEST dither fish. It is hard to find a dither fish for the top of the dither fish "food chain."
