My convicts just layed eggs. The male is 2" long and the female is 3/4" no joke. They live in a 20 gallon tank with a wet/dry trickle filter, 400 gph pump.

Question, how big can they get in this tank with good filteration, lots of water changes and good quality staple food?

How long can they live anyway?

After the eggs hatch and the fry get big, how much convicts can live in this tank? Should I remove the fry after a couple of weeks and just let the parents occupy this tank?

Thanks!

this is a good sized tank for cons. they'll get about 4-6 inches and you can prolly put 1 more pair of convicts, just have a lot of hidling places and make shure that they'll have thier own terrtory. i'ver heard that they live a few years
