paradise fish..cold water fish that can pump out 50 fry every few weeks..the fry can grow from micro size to over an inch in a month...very fast breeder and very fast grower
yea i bred a 39 gallon of convicts and fed them to my oscars and bumblebee cichlid and they loved them. But they breed fast and often and the fry reach sexual maturity fast everything can spiral out of control pretty fast lol
Yea i wana try and breed ..i did it with guppys but my fish are getting bigger ...ill give it a try ima set up my 20g or is to small?

I get large convict batches on the dot every month. I get some random small batches in between. I'm rotating the Fry in different tanks as they don't grow too fast. My biggest fry is 3 months old and at about 1"-2"

20g is fine they dont care just give some cover for the female cuz the male can sometimes be very aggressive
The only problem with guppies is that even the largest female will have about 40-50 babies and if ur not paying attn they will eat half or all. Imo its alot more work because of the fact you have to watch them so carefully for those babies. Pros: the babies grow a bit faster and our born already at a decent size. Convicts are more of a let the parents do the work project. You get a large enough tank 29g for 2" parents, add water food and they can have 100s of babies every 2-3 weeks if you remove the fry when free swimming. Once you remove the fry they will lay another batch of 100s with in days. Cons with cons lol .... The babies do grow slow if you plop 100 babies in 10-20 g tank. I would suggest to get as big as a grow out tank as you can, feed multiple small meals a day and lots of water changes and you should have feeder size in 1-2 months.
