idea for my 29g tell me what u think
- Thread starter slowmo115
- Start date
Yea a female will have orange spots on its stomach and a shorter dorsal fin, but like someone in the other thread mentioned a young female or a male convict who have never spawned can change sexes (I have no personal experience with that).
yeah i have to rocks and the rocks have two holes in each of them but there is nothing like a cave with only one way in and one way out. i was thinking about getting a clay pot and maybe some rocks and create a something. u have any other ideas i could use to make a cave.i hope to have pics soon of my tank
Go outside and pick up a bunch of cobble stones, brush all the debris off and boil them for a few hours to kill all the bacteria, then you can either stack one on top of another in the tank or use an aquarium safe epoxy and glue the stones together making a cave of any size you want. Terra cotta pots also work, but river rocks/cobble stones or even slate look more natural and they're free.
Was nice and warm in Home Depot tonight when me and my wife went and got slate tiles for her 29g she is setting up for a pair of Convicts... We got 2 boxes of 4" slate tiles (9 tiles in as box) and then a box of 6" slate tiles (16 in a box) all for right at $25. We just randomly stacked them different ways until we got something we liked... ended up getting about 3 nice caves and it pretty much filled the biggest part of the tank.I had one of the 6" pieces left that I broke up and used to lay across the top to help breakup some of the stright lines. Here is a pic I just took ....Water is still alittle cloudy since we just filled it and I guess I didnt get the white gravel as clean as I thought I did.....
