yup lol came home last night looked in the flower pot and i got fry, so what i thought must have been dirt in the bottom of the pot must have been eggs. id say there about 50 or so fry, cant tell if there free swimming yet though cuz mom and dad wont let me get a good look. i didnt know they were in there and i tried moving the pot and dad went ape $h!T on my hand thats what made me check it out. i plan on getting a breeder net today to keep em in
so i siphoned the fry out of the tank and into a cup and then put them in a breeding net at the top of the tank. somehow the convicts managed to get most of the fry out of the net and brought them back down to where they originially had them. the dad has now left the site and the mom is still doing over watch. there maybe 6 fry left in the net and the rest are with the mother. i giure ill let the fry stay with the mom for a little hile longer until they get bigger and then put them back in the net when there to big to go out through some of the little cracks
thats what i was using, but like i said the mother came up to the net and has now removed all the fry. she placed them in a pit right next to the intake of the fileter before i could do anything about it so ilost all the fry, but the male and female are already cleaning the pot again acting like there going to spawn so well see how long it takes this time. my girlfriend says im not aloud to mess with the fry this time
Why did your mom do that? Explain to her what is going on and that she killed your fry. Next time take some pantyhose and rubberband it around the intake or put a sponge over it.
Pretty sure he meant the mother convict lol.
my cons breed every two weeks usually. Lift your intake or put pantyhose on it.
