prince Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 they should breed at 6-8cm, once you see them pair up, then they should be ready to breed. you should put a pot or something for the convict to lay their egg on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misty62 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Hi Eaglebarret, when they get about 4cm sometimes smaller you can tell them apart as the male has and will get a prominent bump on his head and the females have an orange belly so if u have a few that are the same size and 2 have orange belly i would presume u have 2 females and 2 males on your hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prince Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 when my bred the orange colour on the female is not as bright. i think that shows the egg and after a while the orange comes back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mianos Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 The ones in the small tank at work bred with the male under 5cm and the female about 4. I was very surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
