[diablogtrwill]

is it possible instead of getting a pair , could i just get a male and a female in a tank to breed , when would they pair up and lay eggs do you think ?

Chill guys he posted that he moved the oscars to 6 ft tank. Still a little small but not nearly as bad.

my two convicts breed every week. One time I let the eggs hatch and they got really aggressive when the babies started to swim. One day I came home to find my JD dead, those little fish killed him! Now when I see them protecting a rock or something, I know it's time to remove it and take the eggs off. Those kind of fish are ruthless, they attack my hand when I try to fix something in the tank and they also attack the vacuum hose too. I'm kind of scared of those zebra colored fish

looks like two males...my couple just had babies about a week ago im going to post a vid soon nice fish you got there

@TheFishKeeper100 You can have 1 convict and he will be fine. You will have a tank full of dead guppys. Convicts are really aggresive.

@nnoah21 I have no experience with JDs, but just in case you did not know, Convicts breed like crazy. It is hard NOT to have them producing fry.

Wow mate 3 longfins, i've always wanted one of those.. I've only got 1 tiger in my 55g, u need a bigger tank tho, those cons will kill those O's eventually.
