If you have, please tell me the details, such as the size of the convicts, and the ornaments. I'm thinking of getting a small pair to breed in my 10g, but first I have to give away my male convict...which will be hard.
Who here has bred cons in a 10 gallon?

I also wanted to try this.. How do u sex them.. I've seen a couple of white one in my lfs.. How may can u put in a 10g ?
They will breed at 1/2" or so. You can get three or four spawns in a ten. The first one, you can even leave the fry in the tank. It is soooooo fun to watch them behave after the fry hatch. You will see a whole new side to your cons 
Only do a pair and get the smallest sex-able pair you can find. If her belly is orange, she is ready. Good luck to all of you guys and ask anything on this thread and I will try my best to give the answer you seek. Like, the type of filter to use or what to do for a temporary fix on an hob unit...

Me and my gf both bred Cons in 10G tanks. Just use smaller convicts. 2-3inch male, and 1.5-2 inch female. Would work. Use rocks, fake plants, real plants, and anything else. convicts arent typically picky. Good luck, and have fun with it!

Is it possibe to sex them at 1/2".. Should i buy 6 of them and then sex them or just take my pick ?
Speaking of convicts, Spizz, You've goto send me your BP convict fry when they breed. Lol
I might get my blue acara and a female Convict for one of my 10 gals laying around somewhere, Hopefully I'll get a baddass convict hyrbid

Thanks everybody.
However, I still have a couple questions. First of all, should I just put both in the tank at the same time?
Also, what kind of clay pot will work? Just any one I can buy at some store? How do I have to wash it? Thanks.

with cons you dont even need the clay pot. they just breedeverywhere. i breed mine in a 10 gallon all the time.. i just put the pair in there. feed them and they do the rest. i just leave the frys in with the parents and let them take care of them. then i just feed off the frys and they do it all over again
