Could I move my pair of convicts in a 10 gallon, while they spawn? The only reason I'm asking is that I search it up, and it always came with a yes, then a no, then yes again.....so yeah...
 
yes you can they can pretty much spawn in any small aquarium i would personally put them in a 15gal suitable for life but that's just me
 
Cons will spawn in a styrofoam cup. Doesn't take much. Famous is right, 15 gallons might keep a pair for life. Just give the female a hideout.
 
Do not breed them in a 10gallon. It's too small. If you're doing this because you don't want to pull the fry later then put a clay pot in the original tank for them to spawn on. Let the male fertilize the eggs and move the pot 1 day later to the 10gallon with the same water parameters as the original tank.
