Hi all.... Been out to some shops over the last few days and looked at the tiger barbs, not sure if i want them, although i'm not ruling em out yet. Saw some Ram cichlids and loved the look of em, then got told they were cichlids and remembered the state the convicts left my tank in. have...

Hi people, Just looking for advice on what food i can breed to feed my convicts. Have been buying frozen bloodworms, crill, little shrimp, mussels, and all sorts of weird things. I feel like setting up something/somewhere to bred little bugs/insects etc.... anyone know what sort of things...
