Can you keep convicts in a ten gallon?

[rainbowfishpc]

I just want to know if you can keep and breed convicts in a ten gallon. I can't get a new tank, but I have a ten gallon, could I keep a pair in that?

 

[Nestquick]

you can but i would suggest at least a 20gal

Yes but you need to put the fry in another tank when the next batch is layed.

u cam keep them there but only if the convicts are like an inch big. u can keep the fry with them for awhile. i have some fry with their parents in a 10 gallon right now. and they grow faster with the parents. mine start to breed in 2 weeks after i got them

I have a question: You know how some people suggest with some fish to put like 3-4 females per male to get more breeding? What if you were to have 2 females and 1 male convict? Would this work, or would one female be killed?

i would do that and once they pair off all u have to do is return the female that isnt paired up. all i did was get 1 of each.

But lets say you dont remove that female, would she be killed or would she spawn with the male too?

she will die. just like my cory lost an eyeball when i left him in the tank. dont do it

So that's what happened to your cory. I told you not to.
