New Convict Set Up

[king72]

hello all, I have re posted this as i put it in the wrong area. i am new to this forum but not to fish keeping. I hav'nt kept fish for about 5 years but got quite successful with convicts. I now have a new Jewel 125 ltr tank (how many gallons is that?). I have set it up well with some experienced advice over a month. I have good PH levels and temerature about 78F.

I introduced about 4 days ago 1 male convict of about 2.5 inches and 2 lady friends for him of about 2 inches. They seem very happy in there and are already showing breeding/display behaviour.

Does anyone have any top tips on convicts, such as natural feeding, natural environment or anything that will make them feel at home

I am an amature so please don't get too technical

ps i do not intend to add any more fish or other breeds

If you go back to main TFF page you will see the Fish Index describing many fish.
Here's the one on convicts: http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=60086

youll need to rehome one of the females when a pair forms otherwise shell be killed.


convicts are insanely easy to breed.

think i heard someone describe it as "jus add water".


ive have 10 in my 180G tank for about 3 weeks now and ive already got 2 batches of fry and a third on the way i think.


luckyily my oscars getting a taste for convict fry.
