I'm going to try to breed my green terror with my convict. The green terror already laid eggs but they are pretty much all gone. I put them in a 10 gal and now the female green terror is constantly bugging the convict. Is this normal? Is this something that they do when mating? Is a 10 gal too small to mate a 5"convict and a 3.5" green terror

i don't think that the tank is big enough for them to breed. i have a pair of convicts that have breed a few times in a 20 gallon. they are much smaller than your fish ( female=1.5 to 2 inches male=3inches) when itryed to move them into a ten gal the larger male would not stop picking on her to the point i has to split them up in order to keep her alive. and they were already paired never mind they are the easiest fish to breed

It probably cannot be done but it sure would be interesting to see the offsrping and I would probably even buy one. Your tank is definanly to small though, I don't think GTs can even breed at that size. I would not keep a convict in a 10g let alone a convict and GT.
I've had 2 pairs of breeding GT's. Both had successful first spawns at barely 2.5" so yes, they can breed at that size. And while I've heard of cons breeding with many different species, I've never heard of a GT hybrid with anything.
