Breeding Convicts

[Hmong_Mua]

i'm new into the breeding process and i don't really know what to do pointers?

Get a decent sized tank, a few convicts (male and female), a couple flat rocks, and find someone who's willing to take your large quantity of convict fry. They're supposed to be one of the most prolific breeding cichlids.

well i have and exra 10 gallon i could use as a breeding tank right?

I don't believe a 10 g tank is large enough for breeding cichlids and what would you do with the off spring? Do you have a plan?

 

[Hmong_Mua]

i was planning to raise them then if possible give some away as gifts to my fish lover friends

Just how many tanks do you have? Didn't you just put the subunkin goldfish, rosy minnows and mosquito fish in the 10g tank. You have three threads going and it is kind of difficult to figure out what is where, but I do think you are not going to be successful trying to breed and raise anything in the conditions you currently are describing.
