GA comments

There should be a usual weight and length in some section.
It would be nice with a taxonomy section describing when it was described and by who, but do not think that would be a GA requirement.

Action taken

Added information re: when it was described, by whom and added links to the articles on the collectors. I have also added some information on lengths. MidgleyDJ 21:39, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reproduction Info

I have some convicts raising fry at the moment. I've added some pics to give an idea of the reproduction stages and timeline.

I've also changed the top pic to show a male and female. It's not a bad pic as it shows the main distingusing features (colour in famale and bump in male). Deanpemberton —Preceding unsigned comment added by Deanpemberton (talk • contribs) 01:58, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

These are some really good pictures of the eggs and fry, mine never turn out that clear.128.210.142.38 (talk) 22:45, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Genus Name

Is the genus name now Cryptoheros? I thought the convict cichlid and some others had been moved out of Archocentrus.Rlendog (talk)

In the Aquarium

"They get along with big fish such as oscars, to which they can be extremely aggressive." In other words.. "Convicts often manage to bully larger fish in to submission through persistence rather than through sheer size and relative strength."

I feel my contribution clarifies the previous sentence. It would have helped me before I added a small Convict which terrorised 4 Parrots 2x its size and a Firemouth 3x its size. Convicts back off and then rush in back to the fight to attack again when the other fish has relaxed from a defensive/aggressive stance. The convict repeatedly hurt the Parrot fish that way.
