Topic: New to the world of convicts....

My tank is set up and cycling. I am trying to decide if I can put the severums and the convicts in there together or if I should keep 1 or the other in the 30 gallon tank.

Since you have a breeding pair on cons, it would be much better to let them have the 30 gallon to themselves and keep your severums in your new tank.  Three is not really a very good number for cichlids, its often the case that two will pair up and beat on the third    I'd keep a close eye on them in case that does happen, if so, you'll need to remove the "third wheel" either to its own tank or back to the petshop.

If you're after info on severums, here's a profile on them http://www.worldcichlids.com/fishprofiles/severums.html

The tank has been set up for a week.I just moved them in this morning.I couldn't get all the fry cause they hid in the rocks.When things settle I'll try again to move the rest of the fry.
