Now, I don't have any experience with Convicts myself, but several folks here really like them. You might consider taking them as well. Still wait to see what folks here say about the setup before you decide.
nicosia31 said:Yeah I'm still debating taking the convicts. I have heard that africans can't be mixed with his convicts. I haven't researched enough about convicts to commit to them instead of my malawis. I'm worried the demensions are too small for the convicts he's offering even if I did want them. Id really hate to buy and realize that the demensions are too small for the malawis. Thanks for the advice to take it slow. I needed that.
nicosia31 said:Well I bought it. I didn't take the convicts though. They were scarred pretty badly and I wanted to do my own thing. Plus I don't have anywhere to put them during the build.
