Abstract
A procedure is described for breeding Convict Cichlid (Cichlasoma nigrofasciatum) tropical fish under laboratory conditions. Three generations of Convict Cichlids were bred successfully using this procedure and there was no significant incidence of deformities from in–breeding to the F3, which contrasts with a high incidence of skeletal deformities observed when Zebra Danio tropical fish were inbred to the F3 generation. The Convict Cichlid is a suitable species for laboratory toxicity testing, particularly studies to assess effects on breeding performance.
