Convict Fry - Aquarium Advice

whitetiger_CJ · 02-03-2005, 03:37 PM

I have a breeding pair of convicts, and I was wondering when I can remove them from their parents into a breeder net. I wish to save as many as I can. At this time the fry are all moving their tails as if swimming, but they do not move much as to distance traveled.
Thanks in advance.

Once they can be fed on flake food, I think it's okey to put them in a breeder net. But it's not really neccesairy. They will be fine with the parents, and I'm not sure if you would actually want a whole bunch of convict fry. Since they are easy to breed, it can be a PITA to get rid of them. Your [acronym:f67d03b312="Local Fish Store"]lfs[/acronym:f67d03b312] might take them, but don't expect any store credit for it. MAybe they're nice and will give you some. If it's a mom & pop kinda [acronym:f67d03b312="Local Fish Store"]lfs[/acronym:f67d03b312] then they will probably give you some credit.
