I have heard many people say that they breed convict to give to other fish to eat.
So can anyone provide a list of fish that eat baby convicts?
Thanks
 
Alot of fish. lmao. Small convicts are about the size of baby guppies.

Basically, anything that will eat brine shrimp or baby guppies will most likely eat baby convicts. I used to raised them until they were about half an inch long, then feed it to my clown knife.
 
Any fish will eat the fry. Most people breed them, grow them out a bit, then feed them. This is a cheap way to feed predatory fish like Leaffish, Bichirs, Peacock bass, other large Cichlids, Piranhas, Snakeheads, Datnoids, Eels, Arowana, Knifefish, Gar, etc. Just google all those names for info. Too many links for me to find ;)

http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/ is a great forum for info on all these fish.
 
i dont think any other fish can eat a convict because they are really amazing survivors, the only way to feed them is by holding them wit ur hand in the tank so they dont escape from getting eaten, feed the baby convicts by hand to ur big fish
 
Pretty much all fish that are big enough to. Mostly other cichlids, such as Peacock Bass, Oscars, etc.

For other fish like Leaffish, gars, eels, Archers, etc.

Most fish will eat another fish if it can easily fit it in it's mouth.
