Is This A Good Fry Tank For Convict Fry

[afishdude]

but do you have the correct set up? they need LOTS of rocks and caves to hide in.
something like these tanks, http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=169788

 

[grimmy]

yes i have 2 caves 1 big rock 3 plants to let you know convicts are south american

 

[afishdude]

that doesn't matter, they need lots of rocks and caves, they live in holes in rocks in the wild. so its best to match the wild as close as you can.

 

[grimmy]

and i do

Grimmy, just leave the fry in the 29 gallon with the parents and dont do anything different, just feed normally.

As far as I know, it's really only african rock-lake cichlids that really require rocks. South american cichlids need a low ph, and planted tanks.

it seems like you just want to be rude to grimmy.

then why do convicts lay their eggs in caves and under rocks?

Ask the fish.

As I said, I don't know much about cichlids other than the african/south american thing.

before you even consider fry, you have to be 100% sure that there will be a way for you to dispose of the fish, its not just thinking, oh im sure my lfs will take it, you have to be positive.
