Tanganyikans don't move so hot...they're pretty weak fish when it comes to that aspect, so I don't think that I'll go that way, and Angels, from what I've seen lately, aren't my favorites...not nearly aggressive enough <Eyes glowing, the Dawg lets out a snort!!!>

You might want to bow to Queen Judy before she reads that!
I was thinking about a Dovii...how do you think that would like a 2-1/2 gallon with a Snakehead and an RD?
(To all: Just kidding...my calculator almost exploded when I said that.

)no no you need ATLEAST 5 gallons if you are gonna put all three of those together...
but if the snake head and the dovii start to breed then you may need to move out the arrow

Is a twenty high basicaly two tens stacked on top of each other? If so I don't think a full grown con would work. IMHO.
The dimensions of the footprint are different:
20 X 10 on the 10g
24 X 12 on the 20 high...I guess that makes it 1.44 times as big in terms of surface area.

Well that makes it better. You have a third of the fish in the width and three quarters in the length. I think if you bought a juvenile it would be quite happy. IMO the standard convicts are the best looking. The males are bad when they get the hump and the irridescent blue on their fins.
Cool! Thanks for your help as well as the help of everyone else on this issue, and my future Con thanks you as well.
IME I like to use danios as feeders as they are only a little more expensive ($.45 at my LFS) and don't carry anywhere near the disease content. Quarantine and add, really brings out the true attitude.
ChillDawg - FYI - I had 3 Endler's Livebearers in with my convict pair. Had is the optimal word...
My pair has now spawned. I'm not 100% sure the male is not eating the fry, though, but we'll see if any make it!
The male I have is now abou 2.5" (maybe pressing 3) and he is getting long flowing fins, blue in them - one cool looking fish.
