disgustipated Posted May 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 yeah they are one of the few fish that can handle living with an oscar haha. didn't see you were in wellington. i was sorta joking anyway bro. it won't be too hard to find a nice male when i decide to breed her. she is currently in a tank with two small texas cichlids, she has fun chasing them around, but i think there is a chance they she will try breed with the texas. would be interesting to see.

aer0 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 ah all good man, hope you find her a suitable mate. The female I had has gone to someone else to look after for a while... ive only got 8 fry left from that first batch they had. Im interested to know peoples thoughts on Fred, his colouring and marking does he seem to be of good bloodline or not really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F15hguy Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 lol a customer told one of the girls at Carine that the brightly coloured patches on the female convict were from the babies eating her and that was the flesh underneath the scales :rolfl: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disgustipated Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 nice fish beets! never kept the pink ones myself. i'm a fan of the black and grey colours. my male is around a year old i'm guessing. hasn't developed much of a hump yet.

beets Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 i kept both but then when they started breeding they took up way too much space, so i got rid of them all apart from 1 pink and 1 black. the black 1 grew faster and ruled the tank but has been overtaken and took a recent beating and demotion so i wont put his photo up yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aer0 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Im looking for some convict advice. My daddy fish Fred is currently in a 100l by himself because he keeps picking on everyhing else, is there anything anyone can suggest that will help calm him down if i put him back in my big tank? i dont want to have him pick on any of my nice calm fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aer0 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 p.s. some of his last batch of fry are in said main tank and they are not aggressive toward the other fish at all and they are nearly a year old now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disgustipated Posted July 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 if it has a mate or fry it will be agro. a single convict on it's own is a lot calmer than one that is breeding or has fry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
