I have my first batch of baby cons. They have grown a lot feeding on leftover NLS that the rest of the tank's inhabitants eat. Started with around 50 free swimmers and am down to around 20 1/4" Convicts in my grow out tank. Even while containing a 3" Jag, 4" Midas, 4" Oscar, 6" Marbled Sailfin Pleco and several others (too small or never showed interest in the fry). These are their first babies and my first Cichlid spawn as well. I am amazed at their tenacity! They did end up killing two Silver Dollars and a small 1.5" Festae. :(
See the size difference in just six days! This is because of the NLS I feel.
