I heard convicts breed small, but this is rediculis!

I look in my 10G tank with 9 pea sized con. fry, and see that most were hanging out by the filter, then I saw the alpha-male hanging at the other end of the tank, and see a small female in the tiny flagestone cave I made. I duck down enough to see, and see 10-25 eggs These things are so small, you would not even use them as feeders yet . Pics later. Whats the smallest your cons have bred at?

ha, how cute. i'd like some just to keep as novelty, but i guess you'll have to see how big they get as adults.

A little over an inch for me. But I'm not surprised about your spawning though.

inchers for sure. found a sales tank with a pair already hooked up and they started breeding within days. couple years now and the marathon continues...

 

[skillzdatkillz]

They ate them and I am glad, because, There are seven other convicts, And I don't want the tention of a protective pair. Its only a ten gallon.
