Been looking for a breeding pair of convicts and got two convicts from petsmart at an inch each and they were both males. Went back today to get to new ones to put in with them and saw a buddy from high school getting rid of fish. Sure enough two 5inch convicts male female that bred before for him :) went from paying 4 dollars each at petsmart for 1inch fish, to getting 2 5inch fish for free :)
 
i know they are like rabbits i just had trouble finding male, female. I know they will breed with anything.
 
i notice the males one eye looks glazed over or scratched will that go away or is it a disease? The dude i got them from had a pair of jd a pair of black convicts, and a pair of africans so alot of breeding in only a 55g tank. It doesn't look bad so im not sure if its something that heals up.
 
I wouldn't worry to much about the damaged eye, it should heal over time and leave a barely noticed marking. Just put some meds from the pet store that indicate, it is for eye problems and you should be fine. Do good water changes also. It's really great you got a steal with the free convicts.
 
ty. ya im really happy. I was wondering should i pull the two small convicts out that i orignally started with? right now i have the two 5inch ones with the smaller ones. will they be ok for now or will they get killed? Its a 20g long.
