I had about 8 convicts and got a pair, they are in their own tank and they bred once but ate the eggs as soon as they were laid and that was about 3 weeks ago and since then nothing has happened, they happily go round together no fighting or anything but just not breeding again, how often do they breed and is there anything I can do to get them in the mood?
:sly:
thanks
 
usually its hard to get cons to not breed. But some things you could try
1. Clay plant pot
2. Feed them worms, shrimp, crickets and any other food that isnt pellets
3. raise your tanks temp to about 80-82
Give these things a try hopefully they will breed soon.
 
also,when you do your water changes put cold water back in which simulates rain and thats when they spawn in the wild :nod:

works with my convicts and jewels
