hey guys, ive been away for ahwile during summer i wasnt editing the site ahole lot. but i have news. i have some baby black convicts, a 2nd gen pink(from the originals we bought) and a jack dempsey male about 4 inches long, im gunna try to hybrid my con and jack. so all aside comment if you actually get on my site. ask question ill answer.
both sets of fry are getting much bigger the black ones are swimming and the pink ones are developing all the other parts so the pink one will be sale-able size in about a month the blacks about 2 months
the pink fry are free swimming and the black fry are wigglers and small ones at that. got rid of electric yellow cichlid beccause he was mean s yeah.
hey guys my convicts laid eggs 2 days ago but they are only 1.5 in or 2 in so not big but they laid tons of eggs and are chasing everthing off but eventually they will be for sale but (the fry) but when they are only in st george so craigslist and facebook.
my convicts have finally done it they laid eggs yesterday during the school day. so i will update the progress as much a possible.
this topic is a sensitive one but its not at the same time. hybrids like the jelly bean parrot are hideous and just ruin the cichlid hobby. but convict hybrids tend to look amazing even better than their parents. there are many crosses that you can do with cichlids but the main ones with convicts are convict x firemouth, or convict x midas. there are many and i will have pictures but they can demolish pure bred fish and ruin populations so dont release your fish thanxs. and remember if you dont like hybrids dont put to fish together who can hybrid. and if you like them go ahead and go for it.
sincerly S.U.F author kaden the male and female of convict cichlids will chase and be aggressive tword eachother and eventually they will stop and dig nest in the gravel or sand or whatever you have them with. then they will constantly chase and fight with other fish so eventually all your other fish will be cowering in one corner of the aquarium. once they have bred you should be able to see the eggs, wigglers, or free swimming fry depending on what stage they are at. and they are very good parents will follow there fry around if one strays to far from the school. and to tell the difference between sexes the female is smaller with bright orange coloring, the male is larger with pointed fins and also a bump on his head but just plain black stripes with blue or light white or gray coloring. pink convicts are cooler i think but they are not as contrasting i think. my dads pair of pinks just started building a nest a couple days ago and have now moved a larger rock into the center to lay the eggs on. so for to day thats all folks.
sincerly S.U.F author kaden Before buying anything related to fish or animals at a pet store(petco, petsmart, in st. george sues pet castle) remember one thing pricing and quality. petco and petsmart i would goto before sues but sues prices are high they take way good care of there fish and reptiles. make sure that the fish are in good health and the quality of the aquariums is in great shape. try to ask or see what aquarium needs your fish have because you can see a baby oscar and be all like aww he is so cute. but in reality he will become a big ugly foot long beast some are nice others are mean. but most other cichlids only need about a 30 gallon aquarium. so thats it for today.
sincerly S.U.F author kaden I have now purchased 2 convict cichlids, a male & female pair, about 1-2 inches.
i moved my gold barbs, and normal tiger barbs to my fathers aquarium. but i still have x1 pleco x1 redtail shark x1 fiddler crab x5 albino tiger barbs x2 convict cichlids x1 electric yellow cichlid |
