Can a needlefish live with a Jack Dempsey in a 55 gallon for life??
or possibly a breeding pair of convicts??
 
I dont think your con's babbies would last long with a needlefish. JD should be ok, I think.

Thats what i want as free food for my needlefish!!
 
Lol, pretty sure that any full grown convict papa and momma would be able to bite a thin needle fish in half. XP Maybe not that bad but needle fish are rather fragile compared to most cichlids, lol.
 
ok ill get a JD and just set up a separate tank for the cons
 
I breeding pair of cons will descimate needlefish for sure. I am speaking from experience here. It may take a couple of days for them to catch up to the whole "death from above" concept but once they will realize that the needlefish stays at the surface and swoops down to eat their fry, convicts will retaliate ten fold
 
Yeah, sounds iffy to me. I wouldn't mix these fish.
