	Convicts - Trouble in paradise
Cichlid Keeper Big Fish Posts: 368 Kudos: 466 Votes: 304 Registered: 17-Aug-2003	I have a I won't call it a problem but an unusual situation,I have a breeding pair of convicts in a 40 gallon tank by themselves with a couple of caves. They have not bred together in about 6 months(last time in april) each seems to stay in their on cave on 1 side of the tank and attack the other if it comes near. Considering how convicts are suppose to be such prevelent breeders is their actions something I need to be concerned with are should I not worry about them and just let them be.

You might also test your water to see if the PH, Hardness, and Temperature are within acceptable levels for the Convict pair. Click Here --- Born in radioactive waters, the Mutant Goldfish swims... Check out my profile to see my tank setup(s)!
