if you are planning on putting the following
in your tank:

convicts
jack dempsey
blue acara
angles
firemouths
rams

then be prepared to scoop out alot of dead bodies!!!!

oh no, i will only get one type of fish (ie convicts or jacks or angles) not all at the same time. if you saw my other post you could see what my plan is. thats why i wrote "con't" so that you could see that its a second part

definately the convicts, they are the easiest fish to breed ever.

Convicts are easiest to breed, but the hardest to sell/get rid of.

Why not do some Angels (6 maybe?) and some rams to hold down the bottem of the tank

If you want to make a SMALL amount of $ off of this i would either go with the Angels, Blue Acaras, or the rams. The Blue Acars and rams will prob. be your best bet for getting rid of and making a small amount of $.

All of these fish are not real hard to breed. But the convicts will pretty much go at it in any water conditions anytime. No help needed pretty much. I was once told by someone on this board - "Convicts can live in a puddle of mud". And really....its almost true.

so i could keep 6 angles and rams together? if i can how many rams could i add? would there be trouble when the angles or the ram decide to breed? and about how much is an angle and a ram?

 

[Cichlid-Man]

Well, the price varies from store to store. Rams here usually run about $2?

Well i would do a pair of rams and 6 Angels. Or 2 pairs of rams and 4 Angels.

Well like all cichlids, they get at least simi-aggressive during spawning so yeah i'm sure there would be some pushing and such. But i wouldn't think you would have a problem. But remember all fish ave different personalities so....not sure.
