To convict or not to convict

[travis2k]

I voted no, If you get a suitable sized tank, then I change my vote to yes

but I've never seen a Con (male or female) that readily spawned through it's adolescence/early adulthood reach this size

Mine didnt spawn a ton, had one batch of 80 I grew out and maybe five other spawns that didnt make it past free-swimming (picked off)

The female stayed very small and eventually died (hence only 6 ish spawns)

but here is the male easily 6+" never measured him, but one of his pink sons was measured at just over 6" and he is bigger

*edit, oh ya I've had him about 2.5 years from about a 1/2"
