What can I mix with convicts?

[Freezekougra]

55g tank so I can't house anything too big.
Thinking about convicts mixed with something else(not too expensive+easy to keep?)
Someone recommended krebensis(sp?) but they sound like they're pretty hard to find at a store

 

[bigdaddy]

severums, jack dempsey, and fire mouths

 

[bigdaddy]

2 convicts, 1 jack dempsey,2 fire mouths

 

[le patron]

no not jack dempsey they get 16". i think firemouths would work

 

[bigdaddy]

i have had my jack demsey in a 55gal for over 2 years now and she is fine and with convicts!

Le patron stop saying Jacks get up to 16". It is just not true. You really dont know what you are talking about. I think a JD, severum larger than the cons, or sajicas.

Guess I'll try out severum, firemouth and JD(most likely JD, only one Petco sells i think unless a LFS has some of the others)

EDIT::Can I mix some kind pleco with them? Ty

you need to stop telling me what i saw, you TROLL. i saw the fish and i will do my best to fix mediaplayer so i can upload the video and prove you wrong. with proper care and housing, jack dempseys can reach 16" without a problem. it doesnt happen over a period of 1 to 3 years but it happens. i saw it with my own eyes so stop telling me what i did or did not see
