Yea like the other guy said, the females belly gets really orangeand you can tell the difference. Their belly also pops up. People say that the fins are longer on the males and the females fins are more rounded but with my convicts its kinda hard to tell by that. Asfor the fry, they're growing...

Well all i see are little black eyes and small tails. They're just wigglers right now. WHen do they need to eat. When they're free swimming?

Well I got home yesterday night and saw that the other female that kept making the dens finally laid her eggs. A whole bunch of them too. But the male has been acting very strange. Its like hes sick, he cant swim right and just lays on the floor on his right side all the time like hes dying. Any...

Man they ate the eggs again. How many times does it take for them to get it right? I saw the eggs and like only 2 of them were unfertalized, the rest were perfectly fine. And my other pair of conmvicts keep making dens but never lay eggs. Does anyone here know how long after the eggs have been...

Alright then, ill just leave them be and let them do what they do best. Thanks a lot everyone.

I just dont want them eating them again.

If i seperated the parent convicts from the eggs, would the eggs die off or would they hatch on their own?

How long does it take for convicts to spawn after their first time?

I had the same problem. At first they were all sorta transparent brown but some turned white. Next day they were all gone. The mom ate em all.Can you seperate the mom from the eggs?

Does anyone know the waiting time in which they breed again after eating the freakin eggs?

Piranhas...

Your right. I woke up today morning to find that the eggs were gone. So sad. They were protecting it so well for a few days and now they eat em. They keep going back to where the eggs were so im thinking maybe they will breed again. Does anyone no around how long it takes for them to spawn again...

Im sorry but that didnt answer any of my questions. And im not trying to sound like an ass. Im just really worried about the eggs. This is my first time experiencing this event.

Yea i know. I wish i had the space or money for a bigger tank but i plan to jsut keep the 2 that are paired in there. But my question is how long does it take for the eggs to hatch. Ive read that some times the batch could be infertile. Its been about 4 days since the eggs were laid and still no...

They bred. About 3 days ago i saw eggs. But the eggs look the same as the firs day i saw them expect for a a few being whitish yellow instead of being transparent. Maybe those died or theyre the ones that are growing. No clue. Tank size is 10 gal with 5 convicts. People said it wouldnt happen...
