nathan Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) Was checking out my tank today and guess what I see? Can't wait to get little swimmers. As soon as I can, I'll be moving them into a breeding net. Edited December 13, 2010 by nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesp Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Always exciting to find that! Are those convicts? I can't seem to tell from the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunl Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Convicts breeding just involves a male and female, and adding water...but it's always great when you first get into breeding to see the first spawn. :thumbs: And once you successfully raise the fry, you'll be ready for other species. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan Posted December 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Yes they are convicts. I've bred them before and I know it's not hard...usually. I picked these up so my daughter had something nice to look at and that we could fit a few of them in without spending a small fortune. I'm actually partial to the convicts as they breed so easily and my daughter enjoys seeing the babies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a bit of excitement there that most of us have lost as adults. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a bit of excitement there that most of us have lost as adults. It's funny you mention that. Having kids in the 3-5 age range, It reminds me that they see the whole world from a different angle than we do. I handed my 3 year old a camera on several occasions and we went for walks for both of us to take pictures that intrigued us. I was shocked at some of the pictures she took. Makes you think...people are in such a rush nowadays that they don't stop to look at what's an everyday item around them and the beauty seen in it from a child. Here's some examples...

nathan Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 So I have an update.... The babies have hatched, free swimming. Moved some of them into a breeding net and left some for mommy and daddy to care for. Will have to see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
