Albino Convict (s)

hello,
does anyone know what i should feed my albino convict and what water chemistry i should have ? and would you think it was ok to keep a pair of convicts in a 20 gal.i was thinkin a little to small but maybe? just found out it was a convict :D

20 gallon is fine for a pair of cons. How large is your convict? Did you get sold one as something else?

Water chemistry is pretty forgiving wth cons anything out of your tap will be fine. Feed them pellets mainly, and flakes when they are small maybe some beefheart.

the tail is a little frizzy at the end nothing to bad, i was just wondering if this was BAD or just a lackof protein or fiber or maybe being stressed out a little? Thanks dan

Just put some salt in there. 1 tblsp for each 5 gallons or so. Should clear up quickly.
