Hello
Nice forum you guys got going on here. Anyway, I have 2 40 breeders and a 20 long. I have a male convict in 1 of my 40s, and a female in my 20. A few days ago, I adopted a Jack Dempsey juvenile from Craigslist. I usually stay away from fish that will outgrow my breeder tank, but he was free! The person had him in a little 5 gallon.

Welcome to the forum. I'm a big fan of convicts and other centrals that you can keep in moderate sized tanks. I've currently got 6 different wild type cons along with some other cryptoheros.
Where are you from in PA?

I made a thread a few months ago. Do a quick forum search or look at the threads I started to find it.

Welcome to the forum - I too started with convicts - now have more than I know what to do with  - they are prolific little guys - but a great fish to get started with. What are you looking to do going forward - display tanks or breeding and raising?? You eill find all the help you will ever need right here on this forum. Again Welcome!!!

Yea convicts are some horny fish! I've bred my convicts 6 or 7 times already, I have them in separate tanks right now. I basically just have fish because they are great pets and very easy to care for. But going on forums like this one has gotten to me; I went a bit overboard on tanks. I don't think I'll ever breed them again, unless I get convict fever again!
