Richard_ Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Hello Just got a free tank so thought I might finally breed convicts as feeders for my big guys Soooooo, should I buy one breeding pair OR 10 regular convicts and see what happens? 3 ft tank, lotsa filtration Any advice towards a good yield of feedable fish would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grubby Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Yeah just add water and wait. A lot of effort growing up to feeder size though. Why not have a pond full of Swordtail ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tech Den Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Or even guppies, depending on what you are feeding them too they are going to be a good size for most and not outgrow feeder size and they reproduce young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betta-Cray_z Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 personally id just chuck some livebearers in a 3 foot with plenty of plants, they will breed and produce fry non stop, as will convicts. just my view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
