My new pair of convicts had there first batch of eggs. I have had convicts before and they have always laid eggs on a flat level surface. Is it ok for them to lay them vertical on a wall? Will they be duds? heres a pic, the best I could get. There are a lot more egg further up inside the cave.

Congratulations! I agree, they look fertilized.

If they turn white after 24 hours, they won't hatch.

Keep us posted! Convict fry are fun!

When I came home from work last night I thought my convict ate her babies! But then I realized she had moved them (phew) into the Terra cotta pot. They are starting to look more like fish. I think I can see eyes on some of them.Maybe?

At first the female wouldnt let the male anywhere around. But now they are doing well with each other. I'll watch them just in case.
