When we got the convicts out from our stingray tank [because they were supposed to be food for the stingray] we put the breeding pair in a 4 gallon because we were going to sell them at an auction in 3 days. Then the male attacked the female and we moved the female in her own recovery tank. About 1 day later the female convict died.I had 3 different pairs of breeding convicts in 29 gal. tanks and I feed the fry to my bigger fish if I can't sell them, for some reason the males started killing the females as soon as they would spawn, then the male would eat all the fry too, has anyone ever heard of this?
It happened to all 3 pairs!!! Yes each pair was in their own tank by themselves...
