For the aquarium tank include a bright light and some hiding places because this type of fish has aggressive behavior. Convict Cichlid fish generally accept all aquarium fish food, such as flakes or pellets. They eat almost anything and do not require any special diet. Some ideal tank mates would be other Cichlids varieties.
