More resistant cichlid?

[preyas1207]

Hey guys just wondering whats a more cold resistant and easier cichlid to keep a convict or a firemouth thanks

How cold are we talking. Tank size?

 

[preyas1207]

20 gallon empty maybe about 18 degrees C

Pretty sure a fire mouth will get to big, but I know people who successfully keep convicts in 15 gallon tanks

 

[preyas1207]

ok thanks man convicts get to 6 inches right? i thought fire mouths were the same

 

[preyas1207]

this is also something ive been wondering about, why do people say an overstocked cichlid tank is always better? i heard about aggression issues

Honestly I'm thee wrong fishdude to ask, I've never kept convicts but hear of people keeping and breeding the. In 15 gallons
