My son has a black convict cichlid and a simple pleco in a 14g tank. The convict is particularly mean, she has pecked the eyes completely out of the pleco. (The pleco is doing fine, though, you can't even tell he's blind.) We know the convict is a female, she's laid eggs a couple of times (and ate them). I'm wondering if putting another cichlid in there will distract the convict from terrorizing the pleco. If so, should we get another convict, or some other cichlid? If he should get another convict, should it be a male or female? He doesn't particularly want babies. Any advice would be great. Thanks!
