i bought a male and female convict about a month ago, they're in a 55 with a few barbs and tetras. i thought cons were suppose to be like rabbits and breed all the time, but i havent been able to get them to. the temp is 79-80 degrees, the have slates flower pots and others decorations to lay on but they just wont. any suggestions?
convicts not breeding

Haha. Thats probably why. I used to breed cons when i first got into the hobby. i bought 4 (2m 2f) and once i saw which ones paired off, i moved them to another tank, or vise versa. It only took about a week so...good luck
mine bred around 2 inches. Give them time. I found water changes always help with the mood if you will. Also, I found giving a meaty meal seemed to help with things too. That's just something I noticed. I could be way off, but that's is what I think helped mine start. It could have been a coincidence as well haha
mine just laid eggs lasnite and the female is like 1.5 inches i would do a water change and then raise temp to 82 for a week it always works for me.
maybe you could post some pics right. before breeding time the female will usually turn real nice colors
