are they active swimmers? my friend knows this breeder and i could get a sweet deal and was thinking about getting a pink convict, so i was just wondering if they were active swimmers or not ^_^ also, will they eat snails and shrimp???
 
I had some a few years back and from what I remember, they were pretty active. Is they can fit the shrimp in their mouth it will be come food. I dont know about snails though. My keyholes eat the ramshorn I have in my tank but dont touch the nerites or MTS, not sure if all cichlids will eat snails or not but I am going to assume so.
 
convicts are almost as bad as livebearers. if you get more than one expect tons of babies!!! this is what deterred me from getting some from my friend. she got like 6 convicts and they turned into 30 in less than a month or something.
