Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: Cichlid Convict Fish In Your Aquarium

The cichlid convict fish is a great fish for
someone who wishes to set up an aquarium for the
first time. They do not need constant care and
attention, and can adapt to most aquarium
conditions with ease. The following article will
provide enough information about the cichlid
Convict fish to get you started on the right fin
(pun intended).

As mentioned, cichlid convict fish will adapt to
a wide variety of different water conditions
without causing distress. However, there are
ideal water conditions that can help reduce
aggression in your fish. Cichlid convict fish do
prefer warmer water conditions, although they can
live in water as cool as 72 degrees Fahrenheit.
What makes it so great is that they will survive
while you observe and determine the optimal water
conditions for your individual fish. Also,
beginners usually find it challenging to keep
water conditions constant, so the hardiness of
this fish really helps.

It is important that you choose an aquarium with
enough space to give your cichlid convict fish
enough room to swim freely, as well as enough
extra space that he may claim territory. Both of
these factors are important for the happiness and
behavior patterns of your fish. Never purchase a
tank less than 20 gallons for a cichlid Convict
fish.

If you plan to house your cichlid Convict with
other fish, you need to take into consideration
that cichlid convicts have the tendency to become
violent with other fish. Especially when you
have to keep the water conditions outside of the
cichlid convict's optimal range in order to cater
to the other fish. If you are housing this
species with other breeds of fish, you should
consider a larger tank, and fish that are as
large as, or larger, than your Convict.

Cichlid convict fish are not picky eaters, and
will eat almost anything you choose to feed them.
Breeding is just as simple! They take care of
the entire breeding process without human
assistance. Generally, both parents care for the
eggs and the fry and will voraciously protect
them from other fish in the aquarium.

Cichlid convict fish come in many different
colors with a wide variety of different patterns.
They are not only easy to care for; they are
truly beautiful fish to sit and watch, and
observe. If you decided to create an aquarium
around keeping this type of cichlid you will be
pleasantly surprised at how much fun they can be
to keep.
