Interesting article on the Amatitlania genus..
- Thread starter baxtor_lex
- Start date
thats how i felt, i thought the fact it had pictures and facts was brilliant, defo a read for people into convicts ect
Thanks for sharing the article. Cons are my favorite cichlid. I'm currently keeping all 4 of the different species, as I recently picked up a group of coatepeque fry.
To me, the most interesting aspect of Convicts is just how good they are as parents and how hardy they are. By far the best starter Cichlid for someone just getting into the hobby. Maybe I won't feel the same in another year and maybe I will. But I love my pair. Their behavior is silly at times while completely psychotic at others while guarding.
i never bothered with convicts because there labled a starter fish, and now i wish id got one sooner! i love there moodyness, i know im lucky with mine (looks wise) but there are some stunners out there, they deserve more respect really
Sounds like a good reason to keep them to me 
With a few exeptions, many Central American cichlids are easy enough to breed, if you give them decent conditions.
