Convict help

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
thankyou! So im debating if I should make a small indoor pond for these guys, do u think this would work????? of course i would have a heater and ect.
 
Yes, sounds great. Odd to build a pond for convicts, but I suppose they would look interesting enough from above. Now I want to see it, so let us help out any way we can to get this thing up and running! Do you already have a pond liner or preformed PVC pond?
 
im probally going to go with the preformed pond, had good experiance with them in the past...... i saw a video of wild convicts on youtube and it looks pretty interesting lol i hav to check the dyi section..
 
Wild cons are the only true cons. Specialists and casual observers alike agree that the modern captive con is a mix of at least three original species. A wild con pond would be a roll-moustache-and-nod-approvingly pond.
 
ill make some diagrams up tomorrow after i study a couple of vids of them in their bio type, wat works better sand or gravel? probally going to have some plants, and little clusters of rocks and slate, hm this is going to be fun ;) i think if i get this running i may use them as a science project for behaviors in cichlid parents some time soon :) i cant hav it too big my parents (lol im a teen) said it has to fit in my corner of the garage thats packed with my scuba gear, fishing gear and fish stuff hahaha
 
Hm playing around with some different ideas i decided that im just going to use a large container first and set it up to see if i like this or not.. hmph. im going to use a fish tank filter so if i dont like viewing my cons from above i can move them into a tank. If you guys have any thought or ideas please post :)
and please dont mind the pictures lol im learning how to use paint on my computer haha
