oh by the way, how fast do convicts take to go from fry to mature reproductive adult?

i have a pair right now in my 75g that lays every few weeks on the button, and are only about 1 1/2-2". the fry have hatched only once tho, but thats due to the loaches and bichirs eating them.

safe to say, they become fertile very, VERY quick.
 
what a nice surprise!

seriously? i guess im taking this island for granted i always thought all wild fish are nasty in some way even if i didn't know how. lol

thanks, i feel a little better about what i have now, even though i cant get the fish i like here (piranhas, wolves etc) :D

thanks for all the comments and info on convicts guys! now i feel kinda horrible stuffing 10 juvies into my wallmart 10g WITH a good dozen swordtail tetras in there already... :( i was doing it for a piranha effect when feeding since i cant afford exodons or have piranhas... once they pair up i think i shall umm... aw **** im stuck with them arent i.
 
That's so awesome!
 
HAHAHA....Spit and a net....good times.

the biggest one on top was almost 2" id say. i wish i thought to put a quarter in there for perspective.

so convicts can breed young??! i took about 10 of them home in hopes for breeding (i chose mostly small ones...) i sorted through them and only chose the ones who have orange markings on their belly (not very many) and put in 2 dark colored ones who didn't. but all of em are about an inch or less right now..


im kinda nervous to say the location in hopes that nobody poisons the pond or over fishes them, not to sound stingy... but it's not exactly a public fishing spot and i don't want them to put up any "no fishing" signs around it. so if you go, be discrete (stealthy if possible) and VERY considerate...

i can PM you the location and the exact spot that this catch-rate is possible from. but again, its highly convenient for us to have this place available and unenforced as of right now. lets keep it that way :D

i haven't dealt with cons in a long time but if i remember correctly the ones with the orangish/red in their bellies are female
