Are Convicts and Frontosa's compatible?

Question

I have a tank with 3 mpimbwe frontosa's, a parrotfish, and 2 clown loaches. I have a smaller tank with a small convict in it. Can I put the convict in with the others or will they try to kill each other? The convict is a little smaller than the rest of them.

Answer 1

Nope, they are not compatible at all. Convicts are south american cichlids and shouldn't be kept with african cichlids. Further, they need sugnificanlty different water conditions to do well.

So do your frontosa and your clown loaches by the way.
