Are you sure that's a 20l tank? It looks more like 20 gallon's! If it's 20litres that's barely big enough for 5 neon tera's on their own! Nice tank though :D
i think, but i may be mistaken, that 20 liters is over 3 gallons, and i keep 3 guppies in a 3 gallon, so i think five neons sound about right for a 5 gallon :)
The lack of an Orange stomach is the major indicator for a male. Even at a very small size, most females will be easily noticable because of their orange belly. Males do generally have pointier dorsal fins compaired to the females, but I think with Convicts it's easier to just look at their bellies to find out if it's a male or female. If there is orange on the tummy, it's a female, if there isn't, it's a male.
Convicts breed every 2-3 weeks on average. This may go on for years. Be prepared to cull, sell or feed your fry to something. They have roughly 100-180 eggs each time.
Convicts in a 20 gallon? Wouldn't they get to big?

How big is your tank? sometimes the Male is aggressive to others of the same species if their tank is too small, Guardoing fry or eggs.

I appologize, I should've been more clear. It is a 20 Gallon Long aquarium, not 20 liter.
