Batty Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I have a pair of convicts in a 30" tank, they have spawned once, all the fru died and they have not spawned since. Freaky for Convicts or what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathobes Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Check your water parameters, if there is a problem it couldve killed the fry and stop the convicts from spawning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 That is strange. I had similar issues but with e-yellows. Had 20 2 year old fish and they never spawned. I tried to split them and put them in separate tanks and there was still no action. My theory with those was they were all from the same dad and grew up all together. They were either all male, or just conditioned to act like siblings do when they are fry. I'd do a massive water change and see what happens then.

Batty Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 water is fine, they seem to hate each other, the male is nearly twice the size of the female though, so maybe when she has grown some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link2Hell Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 what happened to the fry ......... how did they die ?? male could be blaming the female so breaking the pair bond if he is picking on her Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
