Female con in a 20H community?

[Plec123]

I just set up a 20H tank at my school with some plants and whatnot. not sure what i want to put in it yet, but a community would be cool. my question is, would a female convict do well in this setup, or would she uproot the plants and be too aggressive?

you said community? what else will be in it?

I've never had them uproot plants (not to say they wouldn't but I've never seen it) but as part of a community I think a 20 might be risky as she grows. Adding inhabitants tough enough to put up with her might actually increase the problem because they would likely be aggressive fish as well. You might be able to do a small school of tetras or danios with minimal loss over time though, and corydoras would likely be ok, though not definitely.

I think it would be fine
