Nothing too special but I think they are cool :headbang2

Pair of marbled convicts

My little breeding project :naughty:


They are about 2.5 inches long and showing strong signs of maturity/breeding already

tattooed convicts... guess nothing plane is safe anymore


Um No...
 
their not tattooed I would not buy tattooed or dyed fish....

They are just a color variant of convict made by selective breeding similar to an albino or blue dempsey kind of thing ;)

In other words they are all natural

I think you are looking for the words "Line Bred"

And I agree.. Misperception i think..
 
Regardless just have fun and see what the babies look like... what size tank is yours? i just setup a convict breeder in a 55G 3 weeks ago, i already had 1 batch of babies so far.. thing is i have 3 pairs of fish not just 1, so i wish i had more babies... what are your plans with the babies? heres some old pics..

Mine are just in a 35 any that survive to adult hood will most likely become P-bass snacks.
Unless I get some really cool looking babies then i am not sure

They are hungry just thinking about it the anticipation is killing them

:eek:
 
nice cons, the pinks with some black coloring usually come from breeding a black con to a pink con, especially if the black con is a male

i had a black/pink pair a few years back and always got one or two "calicos" in thier spawnings
