Update On My Calico/Marbled Convict

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
You'll have to post some pics on here :-) so you can see the hump coming on mine too? I was worried it was just me haha. Iv noticed with the pinks they are either really impressive or look kind of odd! I'm guessing yours is the impressiveb sort

Yep. I got a bunch of my pairs offspring in my big tank divided off with 5 JD fry and 2 Festae... one of them is starting to show a bump at an inch. Their offspring are very impressive. Almost too bad they're being used as just feeders and target fish lol

As i stated before, most of the fish will be rehomed to my dads tank in the near future. obviously i was unsure of the convicts sex did not want to rehome any. ATM everything ok, minimal aggression, but i think the rams will be the first to be rehomed.
It is a 100 gallon. But im well aware of capacity of the tank...

I'd keep the Rainbows and Barbs as they could be good dither/target fish to keep the Convict out and about. As for tank mates of mine, there is a female Salvini, male Barred Midas, Orange Midas, male Carpintis, 5 Convict x Cutteri hybrids, a forming pair of Fenestratus and some fancy pleco's. I'm trying to sell off all my fish but the Convicts, Festae, the hybrids, clown loaches and plecos. I'm not sure what I want... I do know I want to see if I have a male and female Festae... if I do, I'm going to work on getting a second 6 foot tank and keep them in that....
 
very cool fish!
