flounder with convicts

Question
Hi, you replyed to my question before you seem to know what your talking about, well the flounder that i am talking about it about 5-6 inches in length do you think it will go fairly whell with my 3-4 inched convics? I have already put 2 plecostomus fish and they are getting fine with them? Please help!  

Answer
Hi Michael,
 Hmm.. that's an interesting one.  To be honest, most times when people buy the baby flounders in pet stores the flounders seldom live very long.  I haven't heard of one making it to 6 inches before.  So, the bottom line is "I don't know".  My guess is that the flounder will be fine for now but once the convicts think about breeding, they can get very territorial and there may be trouble.  Keep an eye on things.
