Hey, I'm glad(Or maybe not
) to say my convicts have spawned! Not in my tank though. I gave mine to a friend, and they spawned in a barnacle.
The odd thing is, they've bred at a very small size. Both are barely 2 inches long! But they are devoted parents, even to the extreme of not eating foodif it doesn't come near their territory.
I don't want to be mean, but I think from personal experience they will both be stunted because of breeding this early.
So I was JUST(Really! All I'm going to do is raise the fry for my friend.....Not take away the convict pair) wondering if these smaller convicts could make do with a smaller tank, say about 10 gallons. If not, just correct me.
Wow.....I'm amazed! I didn't know convicts could breed at such a small size! And about 30~40 babies too! The smallest pair I've ever seen were in LFS tanks and they were 3 inches long at least!
