I was given a 20 gl with hood and light. I set it up last friday and then bought two sets of black cons on sunday. I already have eggs in one side of the tank. Amazing!!! The first two pics are of the breeding set, the third pic is of the other set.

They are nice looking fish. That is pretty fast to lay eggs, I thought my Jewels were quick at a week.
 
To answer the questions, the tank is divided right now. I plan on getting rid of one of the sets when they get a little bigger. Nice pinks but I am breeding for feeders. not to keep. I got some of my fish at MobyDick's in Waterford and then PetSmart in Grand Blanc:(. Not many LFS's in my area.

I believe Convicts are the easiest to breed.

oh yeah. I now have wigglers in each pot. It's been a week and a half.
 
Amazing? Ehhhhhh. Mine bred after 3 hours of meeting eachother. Thats amazing. Although, its always great to see peoples reactions when they experiance just how fast they do breed.

Is the tank even cycled?
