Those are the male. So far I am unable to get a good shot of the female as she is always hiding in the flower pot cave!

o hahahahahaha i did not know that.....i learned something new today. lol.
So country_boy454 must have mad that for his co2 system instead of buying one???

[cocoa_pleco]

yeppers.......

[squirt_12]

ok no i know that this thread is about the convicts but....how would you go about to making one of those??? or should i make my own thread about it???? so that everyone can coment on it?

[country_boy454]

Sorry about the size issue. Thanks for that resize website. I have a shot of both my convicts. 2624

Yes that is a DIY CO2 system. It is really easy. There is a write up in the DIY section. Don't remember who did it offhand. All in all i think it took me an hour and it was done.

[squirt_12]

o well thank you for that and i will go and have a look for my self right now. Does the system work well???

[squirt_12]

ok well what is the name of the thread because there are alot of different co2 things and i want to look at the right one. lol
THanks in advace!!!!

I think it works very great! Cheap but very effective. On top of the CO2 I now use plant grow fertilizer by nutrifin. my plants seem to be doing 100% better since I started using them.

I modified it a little though.

I used a 2 liter pop bottle, a 32 oz. gatorade bottle, some air line tubing, and i cut a 20 oz pop bottle top off for the diffuser.

BEAUTIES! lol, i want to breed my white ones with yours! that would be awesome color!

What do you think they would look like? White and pink stripes? Maybe some other radical colors. It would be awesome though.

[Incredulous_Ed]

Very nice! my convicts are ugly compared to yours!
