Are there any other fish in the tank?

Convicts and africans really aren't compatible for numerous reasons. I suggest returning one of them.

Convicts are very aggressive and will not go good with africans one african cichlid that is a good mate that i could recomend is the jewel fish both are very aggresive and have the same water conditions and grow about the same size ive been keeping both together for years and there really fun to keep.
