convict question!

[jjriotgrrl]

alright my two convicts have been doing the nasty and are acting territorial
she hides out in the cave and he is banished to the space just under the intake on my filter

she's gorgeous in color blue blue fins and golden sides that glow
while he's nothin to write home about, all washed out and gray, barely striped at all

yesterday they both received a treat of mealworms beheaded for safety
LOL
they both gobbled them until it looked like they were both smoking cigars!

so i can't see the fry yet, will i be able too? should i remove the male from the tank?
he was mean to my silver dollars so he's not going back there
and will a little 4 inch pleco bother or get bothered by the femal convict?

questons!:confused:

First off
are you sure you have a male and female?
If they are "Paired" the male would not be banished to the top of the tank by the intake filter, he would be protecting the nest site if one has been dug and eggs have been laid. convicts are not live bearers

and once fry have developed the convicts will attack any fish that comes with in the nesting area I have had 2 inch covicts face off with 6 inch fish and not back down.

Curious to find out how this turn out. I'm inclined to agree with 'sap', wouldn't have expected to see 'issues' between the parents.

But, curious...any update?

JJ decided she didn't like us anymore and left. I doubt you'll ever find an answer from her...;)

Oh, what a shame, you seem like such a disturbed bunch of people...I feel quite at home :D
