29 gallon convict tank

[armenkk1]

just finished cycling a 29 gallon tank that I'm hoping to put a breeding pair of convicts in. does it need some more rocks, some plants, hiding spots, etc. here are some pics, water is dirty cuz I just rearranged everything. thanks!

 

[armenkk1]

any advice is appreciated

They may dig up plants but some more caves would help out.

Agreed definitely would add more caves.

Following along, just got a pair of cryptoheros nanoluteus myself.

what would more caves help with? just wondering

 

[Mogurako]

Helps with aggression and gives the female a place to hide from the male.

oh ok. thanks!

found this old thing in my garage from a tank I had when I first started keeping fish in a 20 gallon tank 5 years ago. will this be better?

 

[josh7]

Looks better than before.

Much better!

That will definitely help. When I was breeding convicts the used a root decoration kind of similar to that to actually spawn in and protect the fry. If you added some moss would also help the eventual fry. Looking good so far

I just found this, would it be better to use than one of the the other things I have in the tank

Personal preference I guess but I tend to try keep mine as natural looking as possible but everyone is different
