I've got a male black convict & a female albino ( pink ) convict & they have just laid eggs & i can see the wrigglers but what will the fry look like?? I know I can just wait for a few weeks to find out but I'm curious!


Well looks like the first spawn didn't go too well, only 5 fry survived, but just 1 week later we have another batch of eggs, I was able to get a better look at the eggs this time so here we go....

Male


Female


Eggs!

Congrats angmat, That is great and I want pics!

updated my first post with pics!

Very cool, congrats.

Thanks. Did you have any hatch?

from the first batch, I had 5 fry survive which was only about a week ago. these guys are still in the tank with the new eggs, the parents don't seem to mind.

Good luck. I can't wait to see pics when they are big enough to see! lol

i suggest you transfer the convict fries to another tank.
once the new eggs hatched, wigglers can be treated as intruders,
and high risk to be taken out as foods.

well this morning all the fry & wrigglers are gone! not sure what went wrong but i assume the parents have done this because there are no other fish in this tank.

oh well, will wait for the next round.

So sorry
