Got 4 cons

Picked up 4 cons i think I got 2 males 2 female but i don't care I will get atleast 1 pair which I'm shooting for they are in a net in the 45 then gonna throw them in the sump and let them get bigger

Sounds good Derek. They're feisty fish.

Yea and i'm goig to ge ride of the feamales in the 45 and make that them there home I'ma take out the limestone and add wood

Made room in the 45 now it has 4 cons and 2 giant danois idk if Ima keep the danois but i think it will all work tank looks good I went for a more open look got a cave on one side then 2 rocks standing up and down on the left and the middle a vertcial small peice of drift wood looks pretty good

There settlng in great allot of sweet colors on these little guys already

Sounds great D! How about some ??

I'd love to but still no pc I'm just useing my itouch and it's sure a pain

Some visish colors on the feamles and they are plump so all is good right now I'm new to pairing behavior so any thing to look for?

Really no one? I know there cons and ain't a big deal just still would like to know signs of pairing and what now so I can tell the diff behavoirs out and what not

There is some breeding info here.

for breeding convicts you need the following:

male convict
female convict

then just add water.

thanks swede and lol i know chris just have allot of time on my hands and have been wacthing them and there are some behavoirs im not familiar with so idk if its them beging to pair or what thats why i asked what are some signs andi got a pc borrows from a buddy but man they are hard to take pics of they dont stand still at all 2 of them are so sick with allot of orange on the belly and tourquis on the dorsal and pectral and anal fin and the other 2 are just normal with black bars the 2 colorful ones are pretty plump to

Well now I know I have 2 males and 2 females but no pairs still lol the one female that looks the best she is laying eggs as I'm wrting this but she is alone lol no male but there's one hanging around by the spawn site but he is high up the 2 males are kinda fighting but not much

eggs are gone and i took the giant dannois out cause i think they were gettign i the way of pairing so now hopefully next spawn ill have my pair lol

Good luck with the spawning. I'm still sad that you don't have any Africans left.

Why? Lol and have you forgotn the 360 mix but afrcians boring they just wanna hump and fight lame lol and thanks for the luck

What's boring about that??

I'm just partial to the Africans, I don't really know why. I think that 360 would be spectacular full of large groups of mbuna or even Tangs.

It's okay, though. We still have Norm's tank coming along.

lol i thought about a front colony but slow growing and boring and like 70 dems but ehh iv allways wanted big CA SA its a man thing

did about a 20% water change so hopefully that will get some pairing behavoir the other female is pretty plump so hopefully i can get a clucth of con eggs i can track with pics for yall egg layers are so much more intresting then mouth brooders cant wait

be patient dude, they are convicts... they will breed

lol i know just sitting at home whacthing them is killing me you know? and i love the diff behavoirs of all the fish and what not

Good luck. There's a full moon tonight and an eclipse and solstice! Maybe that will get them going.
