10g convict tank

hey everyone. i'm kinda new to this. here is my convict breeding tank. it is 10 gallons. the parents currently have a batch of fry and they just became free swimming this morning. they seem to have up-rooted all the plants so it is a mess now.

hahaha thank you. yeah there is 4 inches of sand on one side of the tank and half an inch on the other and there are pits that have no sand at all. and everything is covered in sand. it is really neat to watch the female make the pits tho.

WELCOME TO FISHLORE!!

Beautiful tank! The convicts are hard to see though but I love your plants! Are they fake or real plants? Sorry, I'm not sure...

Thanks everyone. Yea, they are real plants. But i took them all out and planted my 5.5 gallon tank with them because the convicts were ruining them.

cichlids are often know for digging up and destroying plants, and i also agree with everyone that that is a awesome tank and it look much larger then ten, what are the measurments, for it, if you dont mind me asking

Man, why can't I get my tanks to look that awesome? I LOVE your tank... one of my favorites so far.

I also have a 10 gallon Convict Breeding tank. I had to divide it because the female ate about 20+ fry. I would watch out for that... it happens in a heartbeat. Good luck!

P.S. GREAT job!
