I have three convicts in a 30 gal in my sons room.I went in to do my weekly water change. An one of the females is in there guarding a rock .Her tube is out so she's gonna lay eggs soon.But she's not paired up.There's one male in with her.But she defends the rock against him too. So do they guard with their lives like that even though they have not paired?
Quick question

Nope! No eggs.You think she layed them an they got ate already? I dont spend much time watching this tank.I have a couple of my own .I just maintain this one and drop food in daily.Was gonna use the fry for feeders.But dont let Jr know.. 
Not sure, I have a pair of convicts in mt sons room (for feeders) and they have free swimming fry right now. But I was easilly easy to see the eggs. I had firemouyh wigglers about a week ago. but moma ate them. Still not sure what streesed them out. Hopefully my next firemouth breeding goes better. that was their first spawn.
