My convicts layed their eggs today!!! How long until the eggs hatch? Also if I were to sell them what is a good price for the fry?

I forget it, the breading of convicts is easy, fries haven't more economic value but it would be interessant to breed them, the hatch lasts 3-4 days, but depends of several parameters. good capture. which is it? redfish?
Price=a penny each or free. Seriously, it can be hard to sell or even give away Convicts. They breed like crazy and are very common. You'll probably have the best luck selling the fry in large groups rather than individually. Some people use them as feeders. Some actually enjoy keeping them as pets. Either way, good luck.
In my area, convicts don't get sold unless they are for feeders.
Then the price is like 10 for a buck if you are lucky.
I sold 180 fry for 10 bucks once haha.
But I ended up paying 3 bucks each for some since I wanted more after I got rid of them all.

It will vary by area.

A buddy of mine bought some for $15 each and he lived 1.5 hours away. I laughed at him.
Congrats! Oh cons are not worth much because they breed so easy. i have a 75 gallon with some cons and they breed like crazy. I don't get much for the babies.
