Would You Add More Fish If You Were Me?

[STEWARDSONS]

so u added the convicts?

give it time, once they're established or worse paired, you may be in trouble

they are very small and both appear to be females. i am seeing how they go. first sign of trouble and they will go back.

but it appears the man in the LFS was correct in what he told me?

Here's the thing: sometimes they're right. After all, odds dictate that would happen. But so many times they're wrong and it's harmful to fish some of the things they tell people.

Best advice ever: R E S E A R C H before you buy any fish, and the best place to start is H E R E.

I got an unwanted "brucey bonus" with four young Pyjama Synodontis the other weekend...

Two ~5mm Convict Cichlid fry!

Yes, they may well be "cute" in my better half's eyes (and mine to an extent if I'm honest) and bold as brass compared to everything else in the 620T, but there is not a chance they will be staying with me long term, I suspect they would make my breeding Lionhead Cichlid parents look like pussy cats!

So unless anyone in the Southampton area wants two free Convict babies, they will be going back to the LFS on my next visit, which will be within the next few days.

All I can say, Stewardsons, is that I hope you promptly see any trouble when it starts...
