I know where you live
So, some of the newer members on here may not remember me, I all but left the forum after selling all of my fish possessions in June (my usage has died down for other reasons as well), as I am in college now. Well as fate would have it, I have fish again. The maximum size we can have is 10g, so I picked one up at walmart. Bought a heater, bought some gravel, picked up some plastic plants off amazon.com, and went on a search for cichlids. To minimize over stocking, I bought 2 convicts. I know what you are thinking, they get big. I have noticed and I'm sure many other breeders here have noticed that when fish are breeding they do not grow at all and if they do, it's nominal. So, buying 2 and letting them breed, eventually eat their babies, and then breed again seems to be a pretty self sufficient ecosystem. I purchased a black female, and a pink male. They are currently about to lay eggs (of course). So I have a video for you guys to see if you are interested. Here is the link:

If anyone is interested on a update as far as how long the fry last, how they look, ect. I'd be more than happy to update this post. I am also considering selling the parents and keeping a few fry and growing them up, but I have not decided on that. I've always wanted a Calico Convict.
BTW, for you techies, this was recorded with an iPhone 4 S, so if you were curious what the 1080p HD video looked like when it comes to fish, that's it. I wish I had the tank off the ground so I could make the camera more steady.
