Convicts will breed if kept wet. On planetcatfish.com there's someone who keeps frogmouth catfish. Frogmouths (chaca chaca and chaca bankanensis) eat nothing but live fish, and he claims the very best thing to feed them is baby convicts due to the extreme ease of getting them--take a 50 gallon tank, put four or five flowerpots in it and add three breeding pairs of convicts. add 1 male and one female and water and they will breed. they are one of the easiest fishes to breed and will breed at a very early age and size.

WOW...... and read this lol
