55 gallon stock advice

i agree although i have never kept them i have heard they are very mean. but the individual personality of the fish always comes into play
 
Convicts can be the meanest kid on the block. If you add a female and they spawn - watch out for any other residents! A convict will also kill a female if she won't breed with him. During spawn they will attack any other fish in their territory. The only thing worse is a Pink Convict - the baddest of bad. A Pink at 4 inches will take on any fish 4X it's size.

To breed convicts you need 3 things 1) a tank of water, 2)male convict, 3) female convict. They are the rabbits of the fish world. The water parameters don't matter much. In 6 months I went from 6 to 135.
 
wow that is insane but if i try to get a female and they dont mate it will still be ok in their with my male dempsey right?are female convicts less aggresive? as long as they both get along i will be happy even if they dont breed but i hope that they will
