convicts in a 10 gallon tank

Question
QUESTION: can i have convicts in a 10 gallon tank. i already have 2 female convicts in a 65 gallon tank, but i want to take them out and put them in my 10 gallon tank as they are starting to have a go at my other fish. they will be the only 2 fish in the tank

ANSWER: Hi Sarah,
 One convict in a 10 gallon is fine; two might be asking for trouble. One will likely constantly bother the other.

QUESTION: one is more darker than the other, is that the more dominant one. they seem ok so far. they are hiding a bit atm.  

Answer
Hi Sarah,
 In general the darker one is the more dominant, if by darker you mean that the black markings are blacker and the white markings are whiter.  If the whole fish is a dusky dark color, that often indicates a fish that is trying to hide.
