bungholio Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 hi can i put convicts, firemouths together in a 4 footer, how many could i put in there, and how many caves, is driftwood or rock better, also are firemouths and severums as hardy as convicts and do they like the same water conditions? I am new at this so i have no idea, dont mean to sound like an idiot if i say something wrong thanks adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
23Skidoo Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 I think a pair of convictsand a pair of Firemouths would be O.K in a 4 foota, just be carefull when the convicts start breeding, they may decide to clean up their space! But i've had convicts and rainbow cichilids in a standard 4' tank. I'd add at least three or four caves, half at each end, maybe one in the middle. I wouldn't say severums and firemouths are "as hardy" as convictss but short of cockroaches i can't think of anything that is. I have a pair that live in an unheated plastic tub in my backyard. Either way the convicts will be the aggressors as Firemouths and severums are quite peacefull, and tend to fight within the species more than with others.

fiona Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Or you could always have firemouths and severums and forget about the convicts that'd be my preference. I guess it depends on how much argy bargy you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thermofish Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Blue acaras might be nice, very attractive and breed like rabbits. Give the convicts a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
