So ten days ago, on a whim, I got a pair of convicts. I mentioned this pair in the Monster Convict thread.
I got them from The Wet Spot. They had a colony of them in a big tank, with some other fish in there a couple JDs, a couple Oscars, a mayan cichlid all around 6in or so. So this male had staked claim to the inside of the big castle thing in rhe middle of the tank, he was the biggest male there.
The female I picked out was the best looking one of the bunch, nice set of fin streamers are ready starting.
I thought I would see if what I hear on these forums was true. Get a male convict, get a female, had water = babies. Well it's been 10 days now and guess what, thats right we have babies!!!
I know bad picture, but trust me they are babies, and right after I saw them, mom and dad put them all back in thier house.
Dad had been showing some strange coloring every time I get near the tank. He is in total guard mode, I had to even get a divider, both mon and dad were attacking everything when the babies were out.
See his stripes turn a green color, instead of black. Only goes this color when I get near his babies.
These two are a constant construction crew, look at all this digging they did, they even knocked over thier house from all the digging
So these two proved the forums right. Get one of each sex, add water and you get babies!
