Long 20 gallon fish tank

[santiago]

I have a long 20 gallon fish tank with 2 albino convict cichlids, 1 blood parrot fish and a pleco. I was thinking about buying 2-3 convict cichlids and adding them to this tank. Do you guys think there would be enought room in the tank for them or should I get another type of fish and if so what kind?

No,

that tank can pretty much hold the convict pair and thats it. Once those things start breeding...nothing else will make it.

Both of my convicts are males.. haha

 

[gmh]

The blood parrot will get much too big for the tank. What kind of pleco?

If thats a common... Oh geez...
Move the BP and pleco into a 60 gallon. That's all i'm gonna say before the flamers arrive.

The tank is already overstocked. I wouldn't suggest adding anything else to it. Since your Convicts are male, they won't breed, but they might fight quite a bit since the tank is so small. If its a common plec it will easily outgrow the tank, same for the Blood Parrot.

you tank is too small for anything but one male convict. it simply does not have enough space for more than one male. take out the pleco, one of the cons, and the BP and bring them back to your LFS and there you go.

:iagree:

Depends on the species of plec though.

They all have been together for about 8 months and they only fought when I put them together the first time.

I had a a similiar stock in my 30g before I new anything about aquariums. Then I joined here. Listen to the people here, they know what they are talking about.
