 | convicts breeding |
amico Hobbyist Posts: 112 Kudos: 138 Votes: 4 Registered: 05-Jan-2005   | i have a pair of convicts that are breeding because everytime i stick my hand near the top of the log where they like to hide the female hides in the log and the male attacks my hand. they are the only ones in a 27 gallon and i was wondering what i should do to the tank to prepare it for babies and should i set upo another tank for the fry or can they stay with the parents. i am so happy  |
