convict with tiger barbs??

[Louda]

i was doing some research online about convicts and other fish that are compatibile and it said tiger barbs i was wondering if you guys know if that's true it also said red tailed and rainbow sharks...do you think they would get along?

it all depends on the behavior of the convict. my convicts must be by themselves or else they will kill any other fish. But then they are breeding so that is probably why.

what about a single female convict with a few tiger barbs and possibly a shark?

like i said it all depends on the actual convict but i have read that if the convict is the last fish in and there is a lot of plants (fake or real) it will be fine.

what kind of shark? how big is the tank? most sharks get to big for anything under 30g and a lot of those need atleast a 120g.

like he said it all depends on the personality of the cichlid. not all cichlids are as aggressive as they should be.
