Convicts can be nasty, even to there own kind, I,ve had them beat up
Oscars
twice there size. It might be an idea to consentrate on your RTS, and
build
the tank inhabitant's around him.

Also i think you will find that water requirements for Convicts //
RTSharks
is differant, as is feeding.

Hi All,
I'm posting this on behalf of a friend....

She is just about to get a 30 gall (UK) tank and is taken with the idea
of
getting some Convicts....She also has a Red Tail Shark that really,
really
needs moving from a smaller tank. She has asked me for advice on
stocking
(plus environment which I think I can handle at the moment but may post
in
future).

Do you think the Convicts would mix with the RTS? Or should I be going
for
steering her away from the Convicts - afterall they already have the RTS
that needs the move?

Thanks
Gill




Hmmm, thanks for that. Personally, I know nothing about RTSs as I've never
really wanted to keep them so don't even know what you would mix them with.
I'm not actually sure exactly what is currently with it or though I do seem
to remember some Mollies in there last time I visited her.

IMO the RTS needs to move to the bigger tank....so I know the next question
that I'll get from her is what to put with it if she can't go with the
Convicts. Time for "google" methinks....
