Im not sure if this is covered anywhere else, i didnt look too closely. I am am fairly new to the hobby, and still have many questions. I have had my 55gal tank set up for 3 months now, a very nice step from a 10gal. Right now the tank is inhabited mostly by black convicts, and one pair has recently spawned. I would like to be able to diversify my tank a little and add other creatures such as crabs. I had a crab in another tank but had to move it so i put it in with my convicts and within 2 hours all i could see were it legs and pinchers :( Is there a way to safely integrate them?

short answer.. nope
convict do not get along with other critters, I have had good luck with other central american (aggressive) cichlids (oscar, firemouth, green terror,...) also pleco. hope that helps :?
