what do you think will happen??

[sterling_mcdaniel]

i have a 29 gallon tank and i was planning on breeding convicts. so i went to the store "petsmart" and bought 4 "convicts" at about 1 inch.... that was about a month ago, and now i dont have 4 convicts i have 2 female convicts 1 male convicts and a green severum!

are the convicts going to kill the severum???

most likely in a 29gal. it is also possible whatever pair does form that loner convict will be a goner too.

once the convicts are of breeding size your going to lose a male and the severum. The good news is that the green severum is worth a lot more and will be easier to rehome than the convicts.

The 29 will only fit a pair at convicts and thats pushing it..

a 29 is perfect for a pair of convicts IMO.

I agree, it's the resulting fry you'll have a hard time housing


Get rid of the sev and one of the males. It doesn't matter which male either, because she'll mate with whatever's available
