Peoples thoughts on convicts

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
like one said,they are like mini midas's,its such a shame they don't grow any bigger than 6 inches,cause I can see them causing damage to a ton of larger aggressive fishes,if they grew pass 8 inches.
 
Awesome fish,not enough respect shown to a species that got alot of people started,just as well they only get 6''.
 
Feeder fish imo
 
I prefer the SB ones, really cause those are the only type of con I have owned.. so the regular ones look weird to me.. but yes, they don't back down.. I don't think they know how small they are when going up against some of the big daddy's..
 
true,but I am sure when they reach 6 inches,they will still be the fastest fighter in the battle still.I just saw my Black Convict take on my 4 inch Green terror,spinning around the GT and trying to attack.The black convict is only 2 inches,so I give her credit for doing that.
 
I'd like to see a convict try and take on my dwarf red jewels. They make cons look like fuzzy socks
 
Well even though jewel cichlids are aggressive and can go against others their size,I just see it as a 50/50 with the jewels and convicts.
 
i have a male convict that owned a 125 gal tank. completely punked a 6" oscar, 4" losiellei, 4" jack demspey, a couple of 3.5" jags. the convict was only 3". they attack smart too...they move around and attack from the side. had to separate him. placed him in a small 20 gal tank with a few small red severums and he really calmed down.
 
I love cons and will always have at least one male. Right now I've got my favorite guy (and my first cichlid) in a 40g by himself. He flares and struts and charges just like a Midas, it's fantastic.
 
my 2 convict pretty much rule my 135 they can take on my 5 inch oscar and i thought the oscar was bad ass for taking on my 8inch silver aro but he got pwned by my convicts
