Convicts

[Derexan]

I recently bought four pink convicts at petsmart. My goal is to get a pair breeding.

I just saw two of them kissing and stuff. Does this mean there gonna dooo it?

now that's a recipe for success

 

[piranha45]

really really really small feeders though...

How long does it take to get the cons to get like .25"?

 

[rayman45]

long

but once you get it down
you should have a steady flow of feeders

Some times they can be fighting that's what my dempsys do

 

[EZHOOPS]

I wouldn't worry too much about them mating until you see one of them buy the other one flowers; flowers work every time. You could try encouraging them by adding some long-stemmed roses to the tank.




Seriously, though, convicts don't "kiss", but they do wrestle mouth-to-mouth to define their territory. They're so easy to breed you could get them to produce fry in a toilet bowl. Just do nothing, sit back, and enjoy the show.
