Is a 10g good for breeding convicts?

It's possible - I've bred cons in a 10g tank... usually, though, the female ends up dead.

are ghost shrimp more or less healthier than feeders? cause i read somewhere they they can breed like crazy as well.
Convicts make an okay feeder fish....but they are so good at evading and hiding all times till it get to the size where it can beat up the tankmates. Convicts can hold its ground against a school of piranhas.
yeah it can be done in a 10g..but a 20 long is best it gives room for the one being beat up to hide..in my case its the male who gets torn up and beat in to a corner... a 20 long allows the one being beat up enough room to hide and get far enough away that you don't have a fish being beaten to death in your tank every few weeks...put in a few good size caves so they both can have space.
i have smaller fish..so i feed fry at wiggler stage and just a few days in to free swimming..anything left over gets eaten buy the dither danios i have in the tank.

Lol, skip a feeding and bye bye convicts. They tend to get slowly picked off

What do you guys feed your convict fry? I had decent success with hardboiled egg yolk and crushed flake.
