When do you think breeding will start?

[Oscar98]

I have a 1" female and 1.5-2" male convicts. I have had them since last thursday in a 20g long with 2 filters and perfect water quality. In your opinion when do you think they will start breeding?

Does anybody have experience breeding covicts? If so could you please reply.

IME it won't take long. Few weeks and you'll probably have more fry than you can handle.

Sounds like a stupid way to introduce invasive species into the wild, just cull them since they're worthless to most.
