Newbie needs help in stocking

Postby sil » Tue Mar 23, 2010 11:38 pm

Hi all I would like to ask for suggestions on how can I stock two of my fish tanks with cichlids.
I have a 35G tank and was thinking of stocking it with all male convicts? can 3 male cons do well in a 35?
I also have 3 15G tanks which I am planning to stock as follows:
tank 1: 1 female convict to be bred eventually with the dominant male from the 35
tank 2: pair of Sajica? or just One?
tank 3: fry tank for the convicts

I am still undecided wheter to keep convicts only or sajicas only or both.

belated welcome!!!!

What I would do is get one male convict and 2 females, convicts breed very easily. That would free up a 15 gallon for you to add something else.

Hope this helps!

Sorry for the delay in answering.
