convicts

Convicts coexisting with Africans in my tank

Let us know how that's working when the fish are matured, keeping incompatible fish together short term is not a great challenge. Most fish can easily live 8-15 years so when someone comes on here and says something like "They have seen getting along great for months" it makes me laugh.

Yea I understand I was a mistake getting convicts didn't kno they were incompatible I had 2 one was bullied to death sadly and the other has been holding his own they only chase him every now and then but he turns and stands his ground a have a mix of Africans like a red zebra duboise yellow lab jonnie 2 peacocks and a few others I dnt kno yet forgive the miss spelled names

Looks like a cobalt blue zebra from that pic in which case they are mean....

Surely it would be the better thing to rehome the convict, it's only a matter of time for the poor fish.

I once saw a convict in with about 20 Africans in a lfs near me.The convict was hiding in the corner and the africans were taking shots at him.It was very unpleasant to watch.I asked the fish guy why he had the convict in with the Africans as they don't belong together.He said the convict was trouble with its own kind.I said he was a cruel idiot who didn't know his fish.The tank was maybe 10 gallons.I have never stepped foot in that shop since!!!
