Except guppys, those little horndogs will try to breed while still in the baggy.Vitaliy said:Convicts are indeed one of the easiest fish to breed; people do joke a great deal about them stating all kinds of things like they will even breed in a toiler bowl, etc. Convicts are just like any other fish, they need to get used to the new tank, they will need to pair off, and perhaps then they will start breeding.
You can not expect to drop two new fish into a new tank and expect them to breed before they even hit the water! Give them a week or two, and perhaps they will pair off and start breeding.
Make sure they have places to hide, they love PVC pipes and flower pots.
