very BEATIFUL convict. is it 6 inches yet?

[BigVine]

Nope...about 4 inches, but very thick-bodied.

(unfortunately I have parted with him since this video was taken...just wanted to prioritize the tank around the oscar...salvini was moved to another tank)

out of curiosity, how much is a rock set up for a 75 Gallon?

because i have 77 Gallon and i want to get a rock set up.

i have like $200 to work with.

[BigVine]

Hey man, rocks are free...go look around in the backyard or something, lol. ;)

hahah the guy shitted himself at 0:32

[idebeep]

He peed his pants at the 32 second mark!

[dmitch1337]

@ojin333 LOL if he jumps every time his oscar does his nerves must be out of commission.

lol i love when smaller fish try to be dominant :)

[MrChops1978]

My Convicts used to puff up like that almost every day. Cichlids are the only type of fish to own, in my opinion 'cuz they're pure entertainment and each has it's own personality. BTW- What's the purpose of the terra-cotta pot turned on it's side? I've seen it before but never asked why...

[jellydonutluver]

mine flares like a mutherfucker and has no babies that i can see

[oscarfishguy15]

if the oscar got to it it would probaly take the convict out in 30 secents of fight

[Bkilla33]

[Bkilla33]
