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.

welcome to fishlore!! wow that tank looks awesome!! cant believe its only a ten gal...convicts tear everything up when in breeding mode...thanks for sharing!

lineymac

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.

they are great parents...fun to watch and easy to rear...goodluck!

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...

Wow! The tank is beautiful and it looks so much bigger than a ten gallon! Good job!

Slug

That tank really does look great.

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!

it does look much bigger than a 10 gallon and my 10 gallon looks bare in comparison
