> a 50 g is fine for a couple of Convicts. I had 8 in a 40 g but they were
juveniles. As soon as I had a m/f pair off and lay eggs I got rid of the
other 6 but shortly afterward I had lots of fry which I raised and then sold
off. They will breed like crazy and unless you can sell off the fry or use
them as feeders for other fish than the 50 will quickly become too small,
however so will a 75, 100 etc etc.
