Maxium Standard Length:  6 "

 Water Conditions:

          Temperature: 74-84° F

          pH: 6.5-8.0


Diet: omnivore and should be fed a variety of foods, such as frozen or freeze-dried brine shrimp, bloodworms, blackworms, krill, flake food, and Cichlid pellets. Pink Convicts will also accept live brine shrimp, guppies, ghost shrimp, bloodworms, mealworms, and blackworms. 

 Behaviour and Compatibility:   Pink Convicts are one of the most aggressive Cichlid species and tank mates should be considered carefully and should be as large as or larger than the resident Convict(s).
