yeh, get yourself more than one pair though, i''ve got 5 of the suckers and they pump out plenty of fry, though i dare say don''t limit youself to convicts, try the flamebacks or other africans as my mates flamebacks
eed like rabits and always seems to have fry

I give away "cull" guppies by the bucket full to "Sick Lid" keeping mates around here.   A kid''s swimming pool full of guppies will feed your Fronnies year round.<
