	New Convict Tank
Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004	Edited by Theresa_M This is my 29g that I gave my step-son to set up for convicts. I'm off work temporarily because of a knee injury so out of boredom I ended up taking down the old setup and redid the tank myself The full-tank shot is cloudy because the water was still settling: There were maybe 10 juveniles left at the lfs and I think I got the last female: The male: And the pair: ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

The taller plants are anacharis, which can grow as floaters if they dig them up. The smaller plants are Java fern growing on driftwood so there isn't much they can do to that except eat it ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

They aren't large yet, the male is maybe 3". The plan is to use the fry as feeders in the big tank ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

Convicts are very interesting and fun to watch. The tank looks good as well. Nice work and I hope you get to feeling better and return to work.
