How to set up a tank to breed convicts

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Ah man I can't wait to start gettin these to breed. I'll stop by the LFS today and see what they have in terms of male/females. Also, how long usually until they pair up?
 
when i was 10 i was acclimating 2 cons in a 5 gallon drip from their tank... They spawned in the 5g bucket.:ROFL:So i put a sponge filter in there and they actually raised them.:D

my friend gave my about a 2 in female so i decided to buy a male for her. He was about an 1.5'' when i got him and it took about two weeks before they laid eggs in a tree and another few days to get free swimmers. and i have sand in my tank and they just dig little holes for nests around the tank
 
Yup, I got babies a couple weeks ago. They are doing well, but I had to remove the dad from the tank today because he was beating his wife a little too much, so I put him back in the 55 so the other cichlids could teach him a lesson. I'm moving the fry to a 20 long as soon as I can find a new home for the dragon goby thats in it right now.
