would a females-only convict be suitable with bichirs? (assuming they are too big to be eaten) Or will they still pair up and terrorize the tank.
Say, 4-5 2" female convicts with a senegal, palmas polli and delhezi bichir (around 5-6" right now) in a 75 gal.
 
I've had 3 female convicts in the same tank at one point, with an oscar, jd, pleco. They would lay eggs w/o the pressence of a male and defened them for a day or 2 untill they realized nobody would fertilize them. They would calm down after they ate the eggs, however after seeing that my oscars fins we're getting picked at I rehomed all 3 of them.
