Alright so I'm planning on breeding convicts to feed all my predators, but I was wondering if the 1" fry are actually safe for Gars, Aro's, Bichirs,Fire Eel to consume? Please be aware this would only be an occasional treat. I do NOT feed live only.
 
Convicts don't occasionally spawn lol
 
They breed worse than rabbits haha. I was overrun by convict babies years ago and only way I could get rid of them was by giving them away and I fed them to my pike, oscar, and my soft shell turtle and they were fine. Idk how nutritious they are though
 
Maybe try livebearers ?
 
I need a fish that breeds quickly and grows fast. Any suggestions? Alexxxxsv14 Alexxxxsv14
 
how fast? Convicts aren't the fastest growers.
 
Mollies, guppies ? Only reason I say that is because you can have 1 male for like 3-4 females
Convicts will provide a lot of fry for one spawn so I would say any of those. I did see someone on here breeding minnows one time. Wish I could be more help gl bro!
 
Fish to breed for feeders: bluegill,rice fish,celestial danios,Red Devils,marbled convicts,guppies,Nile tilapia
