[bubbly bron]

Help!!! bought 2 convicts 2 weeks ago & now there are 2 plus a load of little uns!!
when should I seperate them from their parents into a seperate tank (who are guarding them something serious).Ther is no other fish apart from the parents in this tank & they are taking Zm fine
Not had any dealings with these fish before only discus & would appreciate some advice

if you have a look in your other thread you'll see I had the same problem and had to swap fish around a couple of times.

yeah my Kribs like Human Faces too - everytime i go to the glass and look in they swim up to me - must be my Face - my good looks

No one ever seems to take them.Unless a FS will .The first lot i would just let the parents eat them.I know it sounds cruel but i doubt someone would want them

Convicts make great parents and dont eat thier young unless its perhaps thier first couple of spawns. If I was you Bron I would feed the babies to your discus or some other fish. They breed every 2-3 weeks and have roughly 100-150 eggs each time. Get my drift?

Im gonna have to do this soon with mine once I've found a male con for my female.

How big do you let the fry get before feeding them to your other fish? I have a Oscar waiting on them ..

Well you want the oscar to have something to eat thats not newborn. Perhaps when they .5+" But they bigger the fish are, they less I would want to feed them to someone because to me they're like my babies regardless of what they are. But Im gonna feed my baby cons to my angels before they hit .5"
