henward Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 hypothetically if i chuck in a bunch of convicts - 10mm to 100mm in size, do you think a 1 foot jardinii would go for these and eat them? do convicts have defensive poison or spikes? like clown loaches and africn leaf fish and stuff?

diffgirl Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 honestly I had a bunch of con bubs and had no where to put them so we decided to pop them in our warm minnows tank until we had another option and within a few days all gone, so if those little guys will eat them it is the simple matter of food chain and I have a good feeling if your jardini likes meat it will love cons even small juvis would be good too(up to a couple of cms, the cons grow quick, we have one survivor of lst clutch it is about 5 weeks old and already biger than some of our 3 1/2 month jag bubs about 1 1/2cm), our Jags just love them too! The funny thing about the minnows eating the con bubs is that the minnows are bread by us especially for food for the jags LOL but they got their revenge. So I would say yes cons make great food and they breed like no bodys business, they breed far beter than our feeder minnows and it is just so good for them to live feed, it is as natural as peas and carrots! Get a mature pair and in weeks you will be off and feeding them to your jardini, and I bet it becomes one fat jardini! Good luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 I've found that convicts have one hell of a survival instinct. If you chuck in a bunch of them I'd say at least one will make it under a rock or piece of driftwood and somehow avoid being eaten and make itself at home. If you're keeping a bare tank it would be a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
