Fish Fanatic
hey, i'm going to be starting to try adn breed convicts soon. I know thats not any sort of an accomplishment but i thought i should start somewhere and plus this will provide continous feeder fish for my main african mbuna cichlid and live feeding tank. I have a 55 gallon that i plan to only keep a pair of convicts in.
right now i have just the tank set up with out the fish. I have two OTB filters, a large air stone, and a power head. the substrate is a medium sized gravel . it is aquascaped with tennesee rock and clay pots. the live plants i have in the tank are numerous java ferns and one amazon sword. also i have just a basic 48 inch flourescent daylight bulb and blue LEDs ( for moonlight effect). below are some pictures of the set up so far. any opinions or help about the tank setup? will it work for breeding convicts? is there anything i should change?

some baby java ferns i am hoping will develope and naturally grow out on the rocks
another clump of young java fern, and one of three caves
caves that im hoping the convicts will spawn in
