Re: QT'd Convicts

Yes, I have 6" clay pots on there sides on each side of the tank. I bought Lots of fake plants but I haven't put them in there yet.

So I CAN have each pair in the 29gal together but that's it??? I shouldn't add any "distractors" in with them?

Update:

They bred in the 75gal about 2 weeks ago. I'd say it was around 50ish wigglers. Now they are swimming and the number has came down to about 20-30ish. Mom moves them all over the tank...she can't keep up with them as well anymore!! Both parents are EXTREMELY protective..so I don't think the cats will get ahold of the entire "litter" unless the parents stop taking care of them.

The 29gal is STILL cycling...I'm going to get a better filter for it so it'll act right!!! Any "easy" ways to move the fry and parents when it is ready???

Re: QT'd Convicts

There is really no easy way to catch little ones.  Most of the tanks that I have bred these guys in have had WAY too much deco that they could hide in and under.  Use two nets....herd with one and scoop with the other.
