i had them both in the 125g with the other fish and i decided to move them... the tank is bare and it is only the two of them. im [pretty sure she is ready to lay the eggs within a few days cuz she is big and her egg tube is extended pretty long... should i put in something for a dither fish or what? im going to put in a pot for them that was in the 125g for them (and they werent using it) but i forgot to do it, so should i wait a day to put it in or just do it now???
will my cons still breed if i just moved them?

Go ahead and put the pot in. It will give the female a place to feel more secure. She will most likely lay eggs soon if not give her a couple of days to get over the move and she will be back to her old self.
cool, i have had them lay eggs once and i ended up feeding all of them to my oscar before they got 1/4 inches long... this time i think im gonna keep some....if i just have 1 pleco and one oscar in my 125g, how many grown cons do you trhink i could have in there also??
u mean baby cons?
tons probably but if they are big then only a few like 3-6, the cons will tell you when there are too many cause you will find some dead ones or some missing ones.

well she laid eggs today while i was at school... too bad i missed it... they are viable if they are brown right? i dont know what i want to do with this batch... this is only the 3rd batch that i know of... the first one was eaten, the second one i fed them to my oscar and this one i might keep some (and hope for a pink female and buy a pink male...)
I read something once where convicts will breed as long as you keep them wet.
From what I've seen that's probably true!
From what I've seen that's probably true!i put a heater in the tank that the mom and eggs were in and the temp got up to maybe 90 degrees!!!! will the eggs still hacth or what?? should i cool the tank or let it cool naturally?
i would say let it cool naturally because if you change the temp too much over a short period of time you are prone to stressing and killing some if not all the fish just take it slow and careful.
