I though bout geting convicts for breeding cause i herd there really easy to get them to breed and i wanted to house them in a small 10 is it possable ? im going to be using the fry as feeders
 
It's possible, but a 20g long or 29g would probably be best, IMO. The fry would grow faster with more room to swim around.
 
Depending on how big you need the fry for feeding you may need 3 or 4 tanks for growouts.
 
I've bred cons many times and i can tell you that a 10g is fine but you will want something to put the fry in in a few months. They will quickly out grow that 10g. If you are on a budget you can get 50g storage containers for under $20 for the fry to grow out. The faster you get those fry out the quicker the parents will breed again also.
