Jaide Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I have a female pink convict in a small tank by herself. The tank is suffering from green dust and I've tried everything to get rid of it, as a last resort I thought I'd add a pleco but wonder if the close proximity to each other might be a problem so the convict attacks the pleco.

Ira Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Nope. Convicts are pretty placid unless breeding, I've found. Also plecos are armored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaide Posted September 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 If they're fairly placid, unless breeding - how would she go in a very large community tank with 2x blue rams, 2x clown loaches, 7 neon tetras and handful of guppies? I thought about trying her out but was hesitant in case she did get aggressive, as she's damn fast and hard to catch, especially in a large tank.

REEVESTA Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 not that placid, would still eat smaller fish, but placid towards fish its own size or bigger +1. Placid in a larger cichlid comunity, but still mean towards smaller fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaide Posted September 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Thanks for the advice. I've decided to go with Plan C: wait until 4x juvies are a bit bigger before I can introduce them to the community tank, then move pink convict into their tank and completely empty and clean her's out. She'll be in a 20 litre tank for a day or two but I'm sure she'll cope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
