a single convict would be allright I suppose, but you couldnt put anything else with it and I wouldnt personally suggest it
what about how fast they grow? i will for sure upgrade the tank, but how long could i keep a convict in the 10 gallon?
depends.. if they are real young you may be able to keep them there for a month or two. or you will need to do lots of water changes juvies should be fed fairly often.

I kept a single con in a 10g grow out tank to keep the cycle alive. He grew fast and I think he hated me for keeping him in such a small tank. He never came out of hiding and when ever I came around the tank he'd give me the evil eye and hide.
I felt sorry for him and dropped in a female for company. They spawned had babys, and as soon as the babys became free swimmers he slaughtered her.
I was so angry with the fact that he hated that tank I stopped using it all together.
He now sits in a 29g with a new female pink convict and Has had more babys then you could shake a stick at in a days time. 10g with a con....... maybe for a month or two while young and small, but I personally wouldn't do it again.

my females small and Im keeping her in a 10 temporarily because her mate beat her up. now tht the fry are all gone Im going to put her back soon. she doesnt seem to mind that small tank, in fact shes very active and digs like crazy. I guess it depends on the fish
