Convicts And Tank Mates?

[Spike_ea_2k6]

i have a male and female convicts seem to be in a breeding mode, will they be ok with:

1x oscar,
1x JD,
1x Chocolate cichlid,
1x Unknown but agressive.

will they get killed?
should i take the convicts out and put them in my spear 8G tank till i get my sisters 2ft - 28G?

I'm not certain if those are ok decisions. I researched convicts one time and they are very aggressive fish and can't be combined with anything else.

Unless you have at least a six foot long tank, I would highly recommend taking the breeding pair out of the tank. I had a breeding pair take over half of my 8 foot long tank. They are incredibly aggressive during breeding.

They shoud do well in the 28 gallon tank.

A 20 gallon long is the recommended size tank to breed convicts in.
