We have convicts!

Hehe, the title is right, i now have a male and female albino convict in my tank :)

they are a lovely pair, she is about 1 inch and a half, he is about 2 inches.

now, ive heard these fish are simple to breed, they've been in the tank 1 day and im seeing a lot of chasing going on, mainly from the male chasing the female, he will get bored and just go do somthing else, till he see's her and then the chase is on again.

there are 3 hidey holes that they have been using including 1 big mega sized plant pot that is perfectly sized for them to get in and out of and nothing else to get in.

What is happening qwithin the tank? and what signs of breeding behaviour will i see?

i think you got few replies cos convits breed so easily. the parents will most likly eat the fry if they feel threatened. pretty much it
