Those things breed in the bag on the way home. I have 12 of them in a 75 gallon and only because I have so many and are constantly guarding the territory they dont have time to breed like bunnies. If you put rocks in the tank make sure you put the rocks on something solid because these guys will dig the gravel and undermine the rocks which can cause them to fall against the glasss. I put mine on lighting eggcrate and then put the gravel in. Works great.
Dude,
I'd rearrange your rocks a bit. You need seperate piles. The dominant fish (or possibly pair) is going to try and consider that entire structure it's space.
Like was said before, they are VERY territorial, and quite honestly, they're bullies. I've seen a 1 inch convict cow an 8 inch oscar, several green terrors and a jack dempsey. They are just relentless.
That being said, I love my convicts, and to me they're worth MUCH more than $4.99.
That being said, I usually see the lil' fellas for for ~ $5.00.
Just make that one pile into several and you'll be set!

depends on their diet and water quality
my fry grew from half a centimeter to 3 inches in 6 months..
i've kept them for almost 13 years and it seems they grow pretty slowly once they hit the 1.5 inches mark..and if you have one 2-3 inches..could take years to get it to full size..especially if its a male..it took my male 2 1/2 years to reach 4 inches
