Convicts are my personal favorite fish!

It looks like you have an AWESOME looking pair!

Good luck with the fry when hey have them!

Dont need luck for Convicts. Takes more effort to remove the fry.

Believe it or not, some people can't get them to breed right away. But once they start its hard to get them to stop. The only way I found was separating the 2 parents, or leaving the fry in there longer than usual. But best wishes and luck should be wished for every spawn as anything can go wrong, and those that have never bred a cichlid might find satisfaction in it. I know my first tiem breeding any fish (besides common livebearers) were convicts, so I felt a sense of pride amongst myself. It was only until the like 3rd spawn that th feeling faded .

I didn't mean to come off the wrong way, I agree convicts are VERY easy to breed. They're pretty much add any type of water and they'll breed. But the first spawn to a new cichlid, or even a long time keeper that has never spawned gives a sense of satisfaction. Again, I didn't mean to come off wrong, just that if this is their first attempt at spawning cichlids, congratulations. If not, still good luck with the plans you have for them .
