How to sex convicts!?

Not to sound harsh but don't bother looking at the color of the fish to sex it. Look at the dorsal fin, if it has a black patch than it is a female.

Oooh is dorsal fin at the top? I thought that was the bottom fin. I do see a bit black patch on the one with red for sure.

Okay so i now know that i have a male and female convict baby. With the big guy... i cant get a good picture of the "patch" on the dorsal fin. Its like three lines that continues from its side stripes...

If it has any black on top is it a female always?

No, it will be where gillie pointed it out in your female. Calico convicts can have black in the fins, and may not be female.
