Currently just came into a 100 gallon tank and I was wondering if I could mix my. 2 blue gene/gold dempseys and my 2 convicts with 2 Africans and a peacock.
you will have alot of room to add more fish
Yeah, I have all of them pluse more in my 125, it gets a little crazy at times but just reorganize some things and it will fix the aggression or add some females threat will help too, you will have alot of room to add more fish
I would either leave the Africans out and do the SA's or leave the SA's out and do some Africans. Bad idea to mix the two!

Wouldn't adding females INCREASE aggression??
Look, dude has about 70gal taken up with his fish.
Look, dude has about 70gal taken up with his fish. Which gives him more room to add some if he wanted too. With good filtration the tank would do fine as for the bioload.
As the convicts are concerned they are highly aggressive when breeding even my just about full grown Oscar doesnt go near them. But I have this 125 mixed for over a year and no disaster...
Yeah introducing new fish is a pain but other then that no problems really. Once they all got their own territory things easy up. It's alot of trial and error

Jack Dempseys and Convicts are not SA cichlids.
