4th generation convicts!!
« on: November 15, 2005, 03:18:17 AM »
Hey mates! I've had fish for about 15 yrs now. I've had preetty much all of the smaller community fish(guppies, platies, tetras, danios, barbs). I got into cichlids about 7 yrs ago. My 1st cichlids were 3 black  convicts (2 F & 1M). About 3 months later, the M paired with the bigger F & they had a brood, well then a few days later he paired with the other F & had another brood. Well when the young got bigger I sorted through them & kept a few. Then I bought some at the lfs to breed with my babies. Each generation I repeat the routine. Now I have 4th generation convicts. I had their great grandpa & great grandma. They are 3 months old now & I have already bought 2  Pink convicts to breed with them. I plan on trying to keep the line going as long as I can. I LOVE CONVICTS!!
