papouf7 Small Fry Posts: 3 Kudos: 5 Votes: 0 Registered: 11-Oct-2004	I brought my husband a 3 foot tank, and he got the convicts well they bred within weeks and the male has absolutely re-arranged the tank to his liking spitting the rocks left right and center so the female would lay her eggs.. Is anyone else having this problem?

That's the nature of the fish and there's really nothing you can do about it. Congrats on the spawn ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004	Apparently that's how convicts are...I once read a quote that they'd spawn in a puddle of water if given the opportunity. Any chance a lfs would take fry for cash or store credit? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

I doubt it. convicts are so easy to come by because they breed so readily that at best you might be able to give them to an lfs. I doubt they'd give cash or store credit though.
