convicts breeding with tankmates is that possible?

[keng]

I have a pair of convict with some angels and 3 types of rainbowfish, can the convicts still breed in the tank, or will the fry get eating up?

also what would happen if a black convict and a pink convict breed?

 

[e!o!z!]

Its possible but dangerous to the other fish in the tank, unless its a big tank. No problems breeding reg. cons to pink morphs you get a mix batch of fry is all.

a breeding pair of convicts are very aggressive and will work as a team to run off larger fish.

Your rainbows and angels are going to get hurt! My pair of convicts fight off blood parrots and a flowerhorn in my tank to defend their fry.

I see that cross commonly being sold as Calico Convicts. They appear to have some what of a marble pattern.

they had some eggs but they didnt hatch?? it's been two day now, what do I do?

Are the eggs white(infertil) or do they still look nice and shiny just like they were just layed?

will the water temp is room temp, and the eggs i guess are changing color. some are all white. Some have a shade a black in it, and it seems like there's baby in it. but it's been almost a week now. does the temp got anything to do with it?
