Convict questions

[AnnaMNR]

I just bought six two-inch convicts and am hoping to at least get one pair. I have never bred fish before and thought this would be a good place to start. At what size do they typically begin to pair off? What special precautions should I take to make sure I get fry? What should I know about fry? I want to breed these to live feed and to sell.

Well with convicts all you need is a male and a female and they will spawn, water is optional as they are known to breed without it.

They could start breeding now, just let convicts do what they do and you will have fry not much needed on your part besides feeding them and cleaning the tank lol.

Sounds easy enough lol What should I feed the fry?

Baby brine shrimp

Thank you! Once the eggs are laid when will the fry hatch? And from that point when are they able to eat?

 

[tlindsey]

When the fry absorb their yolk sac

 

[ehh]

If my math is correct you should about 600,000 convicts within the next 3 months.

You forgot to carry the 2 in your math, I believe you meant 600,000,000.
