Can two convicts be kept in a ten gallon tank. Cons that are two inches big?

From what i've read 2 full grown cons will do just fine, I have 3 ten's with breeding pairs in them and they are just fine.

Yea a 10 is about small as you can go with 2 pairs of cons. They breed like rabbits tho. well good luck with your cons ; )

i'm guessing this is a typo Image. ONE pair (or 2 cons) would be ok in a 10 gallon. this is the smallest they would be ok in. 20 gallon would be better, but 10 should be OK.
