convicts are the roaches of the fish world.

Those things will breed in a bucket.

Its funny to watch the new fish go crazy exploring the tank while my puffer is being lazy. Tomorrow will be a different story whens he's out and about....

[sunkenmetal]

those convicts are already breeding....

[nightster]

Well I did a big water changed and tried to vacuum most of the diatoms up. Then fed puffer man 2 table shrimp to make him fat and lazy while the 10 giant danios and male/female convict cichlids get acclimated to the tank. The danios are there to add movement to a dull tank and if puffer man can catch them... well good for puffer man. The convicts I made hiding spots for and hopefully they'll be breeding in typical convict style after they reach size, if they make it. I realize all these fish may be gone after a week and if that happens oh well.
