I keep one Convict in my community tank, I also keep a pair on EB Hap's
male and four females.. Apparently this combination keeps the population in
control.. Unless of course I take out the Mothers and let them let thier
brood out in thier own tank.. I don't think I would put another type of New
World cichlid in there with my Malawi's ( NOTICE I never said a pair of
Con's as they only need a moist paper towel to breed... ) If worse comes to
worse I have a Front that would be more than willing to keep the population
down as well ( also not a Malawi but closer than the Con..)

With your combinations, your tank is simply a fry-factory. You'll have
to remove the males and keep the females, or the other way around if
you want to deal with aggression. Alternatively, you can just let them
produce fry and cull the fry as necessary.

Or keep a tank with a large jack dempsey or convict - they make good
fry disposal units


Hmmm... I did think of that (or something similar to that), but then I
thought it would make me a poor human being... Good alternate suggestion
though... I'll try raising the first generation and then from there on...
we'll let nature take its course.

Crikey, I just found another four swimming around in that tank... Aren't
cichlids fun? (or at least they are having fun... me, not so much.)
