Cool convict behaviors

[LPXnoob]

Does anybody else's convicts enjoy to dig up pebbles you hide in the sand and take them all to one spot in the tank?

 

[KonvictKeeper]

Yes mine do that all the time! Quite interesting!

 

[Mouth-Brooder-Fanatic]

thats epic and i have not seen anything like it! cool x

 

[LPXnoob]

I'm gonna keep dispersing the pebbles. this is hilarious. Is there any other behaviors that I should be watching/hoping for?

 

[LPXnoob]

And just wondering how much do you pay for young ones in your area? I can get any color convict young ones for 4 for $1.

 

[Mouth-Brooder-Fanatic]

[KonvictKeeper]

They're usually about $.50 around here. About 1" long. I however usually have at least 50 on hand 24/7

[LPXnoob]

Mine are all about a inch. I got 8 today to let them grow and pair up. best 2 dollars ever spent. And I know the owners daughter so I get wonderful deals on top of the great prices. I got my caves for $2.59 a piece and they are great sized.

 

[Mouth-Brooder-Fanatic]

good deals! is it chain or local lfs? x

Mom and pop. Lol. They own a few in the area though. I go over about 2x a week to just check out the loft. The entire second floor loft is his personal aquatic menagerie. He has a 20 inch silver arrowana that is just magnificent. It's in a 180 so it's not like it's cramped. Lol.
