My cousin has convicts and within a few weeks he had over 30 little dust specks swiming through the tank. They grow fast and if you see eggs you will have fish in a couple of weeks. Just remember they need the food drops when they hatch.
i have crushed flakes into powder food and crushed cichlid pellet food into powder and i have bloodworms i heard they eat algae are you sure i need the liquid fry food drops
