^^^lol. Their like rabbits. What size are your convicts? They start to breed around 1.5"

just wait a month or two, and you will see results!

Mine are prolly1-1.5 inches
One is lighter, and has some red on the stomach
The other is really dark, and chases around every1
Will pink convicts breed with regulars?
Also do u think I could just get 2 more from petsmsrt, and they'd b ok?

Males are more colorful. Keep the water clean, and raise the temp to 81-82... They are one of the most simple fish to breed.. Bogwood, planters, pipes, anything will help them put their eggs... Let us know..
