description Convict Cichlid Overview
Convict Cichlids are hardy and adaptable fish, but their aggressive nature makes them less suitable for beginner aquarists. They reproduce readily and can quickly overpopulate a tank. They prefer temperatures between 72-82°F and a pH of 6.5-8.0. They are omnivores and readily accept flake food, but enjoy occasional live or frozen treats.
Their aggression requires careful consideration of tankmates and a larger tank to minimize territorial disputes.
