Like I said convict's are small, but man. the only reason all you guy's go for the umbee,dovii,butti's is because of the size! how about you put all those fish, in my tank with my male convict!! you will see who win's. If all the cichlid's were the size of the convict or inch or 2 bigger...you will see who wins!! Convict's are awsome fish but...(grouchy,mean, and small). also, midas are not nearly as strong as a red devil cichlid, they are simalar...but midas tend to give up fight's too fast.
i have a community setup with a butti, dovii, umbee and 4 convicts (plus other fish) all around the same size. my butti is boss of the tank and none of the convicts go anywhere near him, even swim out of the way of him where the cons are nesting. it's funny to watch
