Ok i have a 20 Long with a HOB aqueon filter and fluval 206. I am thinkng about using it to breed convicts to sell/feed Oscar. My oscar has stopped eating everything but 2 pellets a day and fish. I stoped feeding her feeders but now my brother fed her one and i tried fasting her for even a week and she still will only eat 1-2 pellets a day and nothing else, not even beefheart. I hears they are picky but dang. So anyway how do you suggest i set up the tank and how often i feed the oscar convict fry and at what size.
 
Well, many places won't even take convicts because of how readily available they are..but you could feed the fry.
 
Ya thats what im planning on doing. Some of my friends would buy them from me but mostly i will keep them to feed the O and JD. Plus my friend will use them to feed his gar.
