Are my convicts going to breed?
- Thread starter Piicklez
- Start date
I remove them at 1/8 of an inch and grow them until 1/4 and use them as feeders for fire belly newts
ok great I just got the breeding pair and actually got them with about 40 fry and their all around 1/8" now but im going to leave them in the tank with the parents for another 10 days or so then put them in my 75g and let my 10" filamentosum take them out one by one as they get a little bigger. I think he will ignore them at such small size but as they grow to 1/4-1/3 of an inch he will take them out and I will hopefully just keep this process going.
I have a pair in a 20 long that I threw my kenyi cichlid in. Within minutes the kenyi kicked both of their @sses and took over their nest. But in my 40 breeder, my larger male convict totally owns the kenyi. But my pair in my 20 long as been together for months and haven't bred yet, but I introduced a female with my larger male con and within days she laid eggs.
nobody wants to but convicts...u better have someone to take them unless you want 30-100 new convicts
if u can get them to breedat a lower temp i would do it, they tend to get aggressive even with each other at like 82 ish.. (only personal experience)
Sad to say, most ppl used them as feeders and some use them as fish baits.. maybe you can give it to me??! I am in Singapore....
