Convicts will breed if kept wet. On planetcatfish.com there's someone who keeps frogmouth catfish. Frogmouths (chaca chaca and chaca bankanensis) eat nothing but live fish, and he claims the very best thing to feed them is baby convicts due to the extreme ease of getting them--take a 50 gallon tank, put four or five flowerpots in it and add three breeding pairs of convicts. add 1 male and one female and water and they will breed. they are one of the easiest fishes to breed and will breed at a very early age and size.
WOW...... and read this lol
Bigger fish
Yes, but you usually have to breed them with convict cichlids, because they are hybrids and the males are often sterile.
No. They are completely different fish.
convict cichlids are the most aggressive cichlid there is it will fight with all fish convicts an green terror cichlids are the most aggressive cichlids so i would suggest that you not do that if you are about both fish
Mine? Its fine thanks. If you do suspect that something is wrong with your convict cichlid, or if you want to learn how to take care of convict cichlids. Be sure to check the article that I posted in the related links. It helped me raise 3 sets of babies that came from 2 convict cichlids. After reading the article, I successfully raised over 100 convict cichlid babies and believe it or not, all of them are still living in the tank. Its quite a site to see that many cichlids swimming together in a fish tank. But be warned - when convict cichlids are breeding, they get very aggressive. Especially toward any other kind of fish.
Convicts are a semi-aggressive to aggressive south American cichlid, and will do well with other mid sized, aggressive south American cichlids. It may also be ok with some African cichlids, for example Yellow Labs and Electric Blue Johanni.
they should go together depending on what africans you have and how big they are. i have a convict female south american cichlid and a jewel male african cichlid that laid eggs and now have fry.
Cross breed between goldfish with hump and cichlids
African cichlids, barbs, livebearers, synodontis catfish, loaches, cichlids, tetras, mailed catfish, labyrinthfish, and rainbowfish.
Cichlids are quite aggressive fish that have been known to consume their fry. Often times the cause of fish hiding is to avoid larger fish. This habit is instinctual and should go away once the fish is approximately 2-3 inches in length.
The Silver Dollar comes from the soft acid waters of the Amazon. They are not at all suited to the hard alkaline water required for African cichlids.
It looks like the Breeding Mouth Brooding African Cichlids.
