bought a nother convict turned out this one is female too.. noticed egg's a fewday's ago now they all droped off the pot they were stuck to and are wigglin allover the bottom of it , the too fish are scrambling to gather them up and keep them in one place , can't wait to see what they will look like when they develop! any advice would be apreciated :thumbsup:
 
Yeah Post Pics!!!
You might want to seperate them. Cause you never know with the parents being different fish, one might turn and eat them.
 
no good lost most if not all during the nite . JnASabo you were right ! should have separted them . did how ever have the filter's preped to safe the fry from being suxed up so pretty sure they got eaten :( . oh well it will happen again soon so now I will take no chances, it's funny the jaguar really guarded the egg's ,he was nasty same goes for the convict aswell mean motha's :FIREdevil ............. if still interested I will p.m you both ?? :thumbsup:
 
That's odd :confused: Convicts and Jaguars are great parents. I don't see why they would eat them. Maybe because they didn't recognize the fry as their own species, so they thought they would be a good meal instead. But yeah...pics would be awsome. I'm curious to see how they look.
 
Are there any other fish in the tank? Corys and plecos can clean out a nest very quickly. What type filter are you using, for most hang ons and canisters wrapping the intake in a piece of pantyhose will work, (it works best if you remove your girlfriend from them BEFORE placing in the tank).
 
the trick is not to turn the light off thats when the other fish eat them. wait until you can seperate them
 
If your serious about raising fry there shouldnt be any fish in the tank besides the parents.you also could steal the eggs and hatch them separate.thats alot more work than letting the parents care for them though.Sometimes it takes the parents a few tries to get it right
