No one has tried convicts in the same tank?

In my tank I have a 7 inch male JD, a 6 inch Midas, 4 inch male Green Terror, 2 inch JD, and a 2-2.5 inc convict pair. The convicts are super fast and dont get bothered by my other fish. They are also the ballsiest fish I have (especially the male since he is wild caught). Together they team up and ward off even the Red Devil that almost 3 times their size. I love the fish to death. haha Yesterday I was doing a water change/ tank cleaning and the male convict started attacking my hand. Its crazy the difference between a wild fish and captivity breed fish. I definitely reccomend convicts.

i have but it did not work out . but they were alot smaller too so that could be the reason. I want to try again although i cant seem to find any convicts bigger than 2-3 inches i want full grown ones . good luck and beautiful devils i might add

Yes I guess they will be but I was just wanting something in there to keep them busy.

Ive used convicts as dithers and use to breed them. (Almost hard not to, lol). Yes they are fast. So fast they can pick on a fish 5x the size of them because they can't be caught. Especially if they try to breed. (Again hard not to) I'd go tin foil barbs for dithers
