i don't know how to breed fish

put a boy and a girl convict and they will breed noting hard about it. and breeding midas cichilds are harder than cons ,just buy yourself a male and female con put them in a 25 gallon and they will breed extremly fast

to breed convicts all u need to is put them in a 20 gal and put some gravel for them to dig and like 2 rocks and a empty flower pot with some fake plants..... and just to let u know they are like rabbits........ ull have like 100+ cons really really fast......

what kinda gravel specifically and how deep?

would 10 gallons be to small i don't have a lot of space... lol

what would a minimum foot print be for the tank?

ok so the gravel doesnt have to be that deep like a inch would do well since its for breeding it would need to be 12" long 6" wide and dosnt really matter how tall..... but thats just the min cant really go smaller than that and midas would need a much much larger tank...... do u know how to sex convict cichlids? males are larger and may get a hump on there head. females stay kinda smaller and have red scales on the belly of the fish.....
