ok ive read if i get one male one female they will mate like crazy will this happen. thank you for the quick reply.
reasons please.I personally wouldnt put a pair of convicts in a 29 gallon tank.
yea thats crazy I guess i could always sell the off spring. i have another couple of questions,sorry if they are newb questions. will they be stunted in the 29 or will they reach the 6'' mark? can you train them to hand feed if so how?
by good fish keeping you mean regular water changes, and correct diet.No if they're kept alone with good water conditions no stunting will occur. Females will stay smaller than the males and usually average 4-5". I don't hand feed any of my fish so I can't comment on that. A 29g is the minimum for a pair but with good fishkeeping it can be done.

ok that is easyish anyidea of how much water will i have to take out to keep the parameter wear it needs to be.Exactly.

ok will i be able to put an algea eater or a cleaner fish or will the convics kill the fishWater test results will determine how often and how much water need to be changed, your goal in mind is to keel the nitrates below 20ppm at all times. I change 50% minimum per week at the least, even if the nitrates are below that. I tend to overstock my tanks so those PWC are mandatory in most tanks.
oh i had no idea. well then they live up to their name thena pair of convicts will kill anything in the tank. ive heard of them taking down a full grown oscar.

yea the part about killing an oscar that is 14'' sounded crazy but once again the do live up to their name,No I'm afraid there's no room for other fish in a 29g, that and during a spawn they are absolute terrors, my 2" HRP's chase away 14" oscars.
And no they may chase a oscar but they not going to kill one.
