Yeah, I anticipate they'll stay around that size. I just want to get rid of the two African's and have to deal with the dozens of Black Convicts...

The cons breeding?

FYI, flowerhorns and convicts are compatible species. Ours would spawn, but our pleco was eating the eggs before they'd hatch.

I've had two spawns from the black convicts. Same male, two different females. First spawn died because I separated them out. The current spawn is doing quite well. About 35 of them are at 1". Don't know what to do with them all.

Flowerhorns themselves are some sort of mutt, so I wouldn't be surprised that they'd crossbreed some more.

On a related note, wish you guys were closer. I'd give you some convicts. As expected, those fuckers won't stop- fucking.
