Convict Fry

Hiya, noticed this morning over breakfast that my convicts, which i brought as two females so this wouldn't happen, had fry!!

Probally ONLY two dozen or so..

Don't know how i missed it when i cleaned the tank only 3 days ago!! Guess because i thought that they were both female wasn't really looking for eggs!!

Having read through past posts on Convict fry, i remove them at about a week, but what do i feed them, microworms or brine shrimp?

Any other info would be useful.

Cheers

i used to have male and female cons. they bread like crazy! so i got rid of the female and just kept the male.

i would just leave the babys in the main tank for as long as i could be bothered getting them out. the perents do a really good job at rasing them!

i never added anything especaly for the fry i just feed the others like normal and they get all the little scraps that the other fish spit out.

they can also be very hard to catch as the hide in all the small gaps in the gravel. i found the easyist way was to just syphon them out with the gravel cleaner into a bucket :o

good luck with you babys!
