sorcha Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hi, Not sure I should post this here on under breeding but how long can you leave the parents of the above fish with their babies before they decide to eat them etc?? Also unfortunately the convicts bred in a 4 ft tank which I was closing down so just the pair+babies are left in it, so it becomes a big tank to try and catch babies or feed babies in!!lol Thanks Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 It could only be a few weeks before the convict parents start breeding again and push last lot of fry away. If you remove the babies it'll probably just encourage the parents to breed again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorcha Posted September 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 thanks david, I don't think I could remove the babies, too hard to catch them all, so might move the parents soon and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
