I've got a 30 G. tank w/ 1 convict, 1 FM, 1 pink convict and a bristlenose. I used to have the recommended tiger barbs for target fish but they've all been slaughtered by the cichlids. I kept adding them and finding them dead. Honestly, I think that whole target/dither fish thing is bs.
Anyways, so far the convicts and the FM all have their territory staked out and I wanted to introduce another cichlid to the bunch. Would a jewel be okay to add to this tank? The other guys look like they've all stopped growing (all 2 years old and between 3-4 inches in length) since they haven't gotten any bigger for awhile now, and the tank looks kinda empty. Does anyone have any suggestions for other tankmates?
