Need help venting cons

Convicts will NOT breed "regardless"

Remember you still need a ..... FEMALE!


Surprising as it is, they STILL require both sexes.

Females will have some orange on the sides. If none of yours do, you have a bunch of males, and no, they won't breed eventually

wow, thats what I meant. does everything need to be spelled out ?

A pair of cons will breed in the bag on the way home from the store

Bigsmooth, here's your comment:
cons breed in any tank regardless if they're dominant or not


Just wanted to add that you do still need a female No offense! My comment was made lightheartedly.

Ille agree doesnt matter if they are dominant or not. My cons are quite often banished to there pot for days at a time and attacked if they ever come out and will still happily breed and quite often still care for the babies untill ofcourse something eats them.

santoury pretty much said it all.

u dont have to vent cons to sex them. it is so easy to tell them apart.

if theyre all five inches and none of them have any colouration on their bellies then you have a bunch of males, you can tell them apart from around 1" in length

Yes they are all males, i just picked up 2 2" females and a 2" male today and i'll try an breed them. You can definately tell the difference.
