Convict questions.

You can. I'm not sure if they will accept them but who knows
 
The only thing they would do is kill their fry if they come back into breeding season and the current fry will not leave the area..
 
I have some in my Oscar and Pacu tank but as far as seeing some of the fry disappear but rather than flurish even more than just in a tank by themselves. They have been teaming up and just trying to run the tank.

That's when you decied hell I have so many I need a new tank with a monster predator to eat all these SOBs :devil:
 
I have a mating pair of Black Convicts with 2 Green Terrors and 2 Jack's. By far the meanest are the Convicts, especially when breeding, followed by the GT, then the Jack's. The Convicts are prolific breeders and I'm not sure why they don't have long ears and a bunny tail... :evil_lol: Momma likes to eat the fry for a snack if the other fish try to invade their area, then the male takes over and keeps momma out of the breeding area, but by then the fry's are pretty much all gone. I'm guessing the male plays the bigger role in raising the fry. They are really good at fending off visitors and I kinda feel sorry for the others. I don't try to save the fry mainly because I wouldn't want any more Convicts in the tank. If it's a tank of just Convicts, the fry should have a much better survival rate.
