This is a picture of my convict mommy & daddy watching their first batch of eggs. These guys are no longer than 1 1/2 inches long...and the mommy laid 150 eggs exactly. I've got these fellers (and 4 others) in a 55 gallon aquarium with 5 firemouths and about 20 platys / swordtails. I'll be purchasing a seperate 55 gallon aquarium solely for the firemouths when I get back from vacation in two weeks. Hopefully, I won't return with 150 baby convicts! :)
