ANYONE!!! I just got my first batch of convict cichlids and i kept 1 male and 1 female to breed to my 20 gallon so i can count them. Will one male be enought for the famle to chooose from?
-
my female ate the mate n everyother fish i tryed to put in the tank...how do i get babies without her eatin everyone
-
u should get some fry within 2 weeks or so... cuz that is her mating colors
-
what would u recommend doing with extra fry?
-
i just got mine today, and i love them

@EpicFighter12345 You're dumb. Males are only black and white, maybe a little blue on the fins. Unless you're color blind, that's obviously a female.
-
every says this one is the female that's absolutely wrong there the males because there bigger and i looked online :P

my convict doesn't have a orange belly its just brownish gray
Can a pair of sellers' size convicts live in a 5 gallon tank?

omg wow!!! that has to be the best female convict i've ever seen!! you did a great job raising her ! =) but i have a question if ur willing to reply back. I want 1 or 2 convicts but i dont really have any room if they have any babies...(i've heard they can have lots of babies)...so i wanted maybe 1 or 2 females...but would they go good with other fish rather then another kind of cichlid? maybe like a cory catfish?

@twe93 you might get away with having a bottom feeder in the tank, but convicts are very territorial when spawning and very unpredictable. I have put them in with much larger fish before as food. If they are not eaten and have a chance to breed then they will go for the eyes of the larger, more aggressive fish. they really should be in a tank of their own if they are breeding and once they fry hatch, then the male needs to be removed from the tank.
