convict tank question

Clay flowerpots are some of the best decorations for cichlid tanks , cons like most other cichlids will love them.
Clay flower pots are great, but the key issue is a small space the female con can either hide in or have more maneuverability in to beat the crud out of the male from time to time!
That's how my pair in a 20 long solved their problems. I rearranged the tank, put in several smaller cave structures, and to my surprise they helped the female because she could swim around in the smaller caves whereas the male could get in but not maneuver well.
Now, he respects her and they're doing great.

ok well my blue acaras and convicts came, they are all supposed to be the same size. the blue acaras are about 3.5 inches long and are all beat up, and the convicts are tiny! maybe 1.5 inches
he is keeping the acaras for a few days, to see if they look better, so i have to wait a few more days to get my fish

Hope that you get them soon, caz! It is best, though, to wait for that which is best for your tank!
with the acaras and convicts go together even though the convicts are half the size of the acaras? i will keep the acaras, but i can order different convicts, its just that the acaras are a little beat up, so he wants to keep them for a few days so he doesnt sell me bad fish.
That might be the best route...the way that he has them right now. Aren't Blue Acaras kind of wimps when compared to Cons?
