I'm getting a 55 soon and i want to know what cichlid would get along well with my breeding convicts? all the other fish i had with them they attacked and killed :( Thanks for the help
 
Are your convicts full grown? I've kept firemouths with convicts with pretty good success. Maybe a small terror of some sort, you could even try more convicts. Thats what i got now, a swarm of 7 convicts, who have killed everything that they come in contact with.

What size tank are they in now, cause tank size will have a lot to do with how they act. There needs to be space for everyone. Also what fish have your cons killed so far?
 
thats what breeding convicts do, kill EVERYTHING else in the tank. they need maybe a 30, use the 55 for something a little cooler that actually needs the space. any other cichlids you are interested in?
 
My GTs are fine with my Convicts and the Cons don't bother my Angels either due to them staying in the upper part of the tank and the cons stay close to the bottem.
