Convict Rescue

[Kaosu]

I picked this fish up from PetSmart after watching it for a few months...went in and it was on sale for 2$ and a very uneducated shopper was saying how cute she would be in her 'bowel' witch she had in her hand...maybe 2 gallons....so i bought her
i love her colors! .....sad that she is missing a tail but she gets around as if it were still there..it looks like and old injury ..not cut.
shes in a 35 along ATM but will be switching tanks with my sculpin soon to a 22...might get her a small male if i can find a nice enough one. ^_^ love her colors..this is my first Cichlid!!
..i plan to use the babies as feeders for my sculpin.

let me know what you think^_^ and if any one has any really nice fry of decent size i can get a male from..iv had her about 2 weeks and she eats like a little pig.


shes about 2 inches max

Hay! i came down to your store a few months back^_^ i would love a little male!!
i have to move the tank to my house, the one she is in..im looking for a stand that can hold both my tanks something around 50 inches long and 13inches deep
...i don't want to get her a male before i have her with me to watch them...but i would love to come down and look at them, i can always keep them separated until i can get them moved here. (with in a week or two)

and i was going to come down and ask you if you wanted my pleco he/she is a Pterygoplichthys joselimaianus. about 6 inches long

when you get the chance ,come in and say hello ,ive got too many plecos to justify buying any at this time but if you just want her re homed then that's ok with me,

as for the boys,i can set them aside for whenever your ready,i really like your tank setups and fish pics ,glad to see you here


peace

Kaosu, try putting your pleco up on here for sale. Or just for rehoming, since Big Fish is full on plecos. Fish seem to sell pretty well on here

while i am a first time cichlid owner..i am not a first time fish owner and know the two do not mix
..this fish was a rescue/impulse buy..if you look at the date it was taken a while ago the goldie was in there for one night..and was fine when rehome to a friend the next morning.

I lean toward Lars concerns. I've had convicts and have seen how wicked they can be... they are like the chihuahua of fish... they do not know how small they are, but their bite marks back it up. That little guy will rule your tank or take a beating trying. Just keep a close eye on em is all I'm saying. Good luck.

^_^ yes...i have done tons of research on these guys..and failed to mention she will is in a tank alone other than a 6 inch pleco who is also being rehomed before i get her a male.....

lol too bad you are not looking for a small female, we have one from when i made a mistake on getting a pair, didnt have enough mouths to feed the 600+ fry i had x.x, gave them to a petstore including the dad(he killed the mom) so they could feed their mata mata. And i think the tail is cut, looks like the heart cut they do. Normally around valentines day on parrots. But they have done them on other fish
