Inducing Convict to Breed

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I once put a pair of convicts in a shoe box full of water and put it in a closet. An hour later they had 4000 fry swimming around with them.

Thanks everyone. XD Yeah, tried everything. I always have lights on, temps above 25 celcius, and so on. I actually had 3 females and 1 male in my tank previously, but this female actually chased everyone. Which is why I swapped to this. Can't really get a divider in this, so I guess I just have to either wait it out, or find larger Convicts. :) And yes, I really want this female, that's why. >.< Which is why this is a bit complicated. Usually breeding Convicts should be easy lol.
 
Better finding larger convicts then.

To encourage spawning you'll want to maintain a temp of at least 78F

We're talking about the convicts, they didn't give a hoot what the tank conditions, what tank size, what the water temperatures are etc.....

Beside the jokes the posters made, it is true that convicts are easiest egg laying fish to breed. Knew a poster on here had a small pair of cons successfully spawned in a 5gal hexagon aquarium.
