    Love it! My aunt had a 220 convict setup and they breed like rabbits. And jump. We found about 20 dead fish behind the tank when we cleaned it

    Your female is absolutely stunning. I really enjoyed the video, the clarity of it and the clarity of your voice was great. I loved the story you told about the generations as well. I currently have 4 convicts and I am just watching videos I find about that type of fish. I feel like there will be a mating pair soon and I just want to know what to expect. I will take a look at other videos you have made. Thanks.

    I share in the struggle when talking to friends about my fish, these are awesome fish. I recently got a couple pairs that I adopted from petco, again the only store I could find convicts at like you said in the video. The ones I have are about 2.5"-3" right now so I'm expecting them to try and breed any day.

    Cool. I love convicts. They were the first egg layers to breed for me - in a community tank. I didn't even know they were the same species, as one was the pink variety. It was very exciting.

  • @SirSkippy87
    @SirSkippy87 4 года назад +1

    I never breed a female and male from the same blood line and always go for a male that is 20 to 30% larger than the female. This gives a better success rate at pairing off in my experience. I also got my first pair of convicts from Petsmart. They have good fish sometimes but not to great with useful information! You’re better off asking google and doing research yourself IMO

  • @sundaydriver95
    @sundaydriver95 9 лет назад

    I have a 100 gallon tank, with about 5 red jewels, a bumble bee, two small albino zebras, two venustus, one convict and one other one. ( I forget the name lol) but they're doing all fine ! And they get along great . My female convict tho. I feel like her color could be better. She's no where as dark as your female. Can the food and the water she's in affect her coloring ? I'm new to this fish hobby.

    The most common result of inbreeding is problems with the immune system. Succeptibility to deseases, in other words.

    We have 2 convicts there a mated pair my dad wants to no when they have babies do you separate them from the babies or from the other fish we have in there the store told us to separate them but do u?

    • @jerryrush892
      @jerryrush892 9 лет назад +1

      Hope Gill Do not separate them, they're very good parents. If you think they're eating the fry they are not they will suck them into their mouths and spit them back into the area they want.

    • @LadDell
      @LadDell 9 лет назад

      +Danarius Trotter Have the convicts started breeding yet? My guess would be to keep just one male with the female. If you have two males, they may compete for the female. I have a pair that have bred twice already and now I have one tank with just their offspring. They just keep breeding! Good luck!

    • @danarius.t5866

      @ScottiesHobbies 10 лет назад

      if they are breeding convicts they are not friendly! I have a breeding couple that i tried in a community tank and they killed everything! Also, If you have plants the breeding convicts will up root them.

  • @JAB66JR
    @JAB66JR 2 года назад

    When buying convicts, get them from different places. This way you can keep the cross breeding down.

    Are convicts infantcidal? It looked like the babies were feeder fish, as the adult convicts seemed to nibble them a bit from time to time.

    • @juanguillermoacsagal1066
      @juanguillermoacsagal1066 4 года назад

      convicts are very protective.. in order for the babies to be in one place the parents gather them in their mouths (without swallowing) and releases them in a secured place in the aquarium.
