Everyone has heard the story of convicts spawning and killing all of the fish in the tank. I am playing with the idea of using a 29 gallon to create an all male or all female convict tank to keep the aggression and spawning to a minimum.
I have a few questions
1. Are there any advantages to having male convicts over female convicts? or vice versa?
2. How do you think that a school of fast target fish to occupy the upper layer of the tank such as zebra danios or a type of tetra do?
3. Would other cichlid tankmates be possible? (such as firemouths)
My original thought was 3-4 male or female convicts and a school of fast target fish in a sand bottom tank.
I like the idea of other cichlid tankmates and another possible setup might be 2-3 male or female convicts and single firemouth or other compatible cichlid also with a school of fast target fish in a sand bottom tank.
EDIT: i completely re-did the question
