What other cichlids would you put in with convicts? And what other fish can u have in the tank with cichlids?
 
Really you could only get away with 1 Amatitlania nigrofasciata with a small school of tetra's or a pair alone without tankmates.

They may seem small now but in no time they'll be fairly decent sized brutes like this big boy nearly 6".

 
So u can only have a couple of them in a tank the size I have then? That's a shame I was thinking about getting a couple of the bright yellow or blue ones (not sure there names) with them, ok will I have some tetras in with them at the mo so looks like I have maxed out in there then. Cheers for your help.
 
So would this one be female?

My females had a pinkish red belly and the males are bigger and develop the forehead bump as they mature. Heres a pic of my male. Traded the females for a red devil and salvini. I didnt want the spawning in my tank. I did the same with my JDs.
