Demonvicts

[Hybridfish7]

Tldr, got a group of septemfasciata and put them with nicoya convicts, turns out there were 0 male septs in the group so one female took up my biggest male nicoya, now I have fry of what could be one of the biggest and most aggressive convict type things in existence. I call them demonvicts, like demonic, but convict.

Do I raise them out of curiosity? They wouldn't leave my house. I am currently working on dropping food in the nest to get the other fish to eat them, but I have about half left so I am currently weighing my options.

I am working on separating the species in my collection.

Got em all

I think it would be cool to raise a batch

Too late

Too late

I stand corrected, I found one, a little over half an inch. Grew pretty fast, I'm surprised the little thing made it. Guess I'm raising one

Looks like a septemfasciata with convict barring. Misbarred too, it's got little zebra stripes. Will be interesting to see how it turns out

He got eaten

It seems you stand corrected once again

Indeed, my myrnae got him through a net while I wasn't looking, guess he wasn't big enough to stay off the radar of 2.5" myrnae

Pics would be nice if it happens again. If the hybrid offspring have some redeeming quality then of course there's nothing wrong if you want to keep them alive and within your own tanks.

Couldn’t have guessed that happening. That worry wouldn’t have crossed my mind. Guess the birth of the Demonvict wasn’t meant to be. Myrnae knew it.
