Can I put 1 juvenile convict in a 55 with my other fish? There are 3 neon tetras, 3 glowfish tetras, a Zebra Danio, a Glofish, 4 mollies, and 4 mystery snails.

Glowlight tetras*
 
From the research I did on live aquaria.com, I learned that since this fish is aggressive, it should be kept with other aggressive fish, and the fish should not be smaller than it.
 
Ok, thanks. I was thinking that since it was little maybe I could but I'll leave it with the others.
 
It might be ok for a while, but eventually it will become too aggressive for those fish. I would not recommend it.
 
Yeah that's probably not going to work with the tetras. I do have a male convict with swordtails and he leaves them alone (he's in there due to circumstances out of my control), but it still isn't ideal stocking. Rehome him.

It's in a tank with other convicts, the tank is over populated so I was just going to put it in my other tank but if it's not a good idea then I'll leave it where it is.
 
Yeah, I have probably 50 convicts. I have already gotten rid of some, I need to get rid of more. They are all under 2 inches
