Convict

[Niki]

Hello all, I was just taking some photos of my fish and I got some really good ones of my convict and wanted to share them with you!

I never realized how much color she had, purple, blue, green, and yellow, though I noticed her gold belly disappeared. Maybe due to a lack of males and no real urge to spawn.

Please feel free to share your convict photos too

Thanks, very nice pics of your girls! How big are they?

Thats just one I don't think I could ever have more than one pair! She's already pumping out 300 eggs every few months! She is about 3" long, and fully grown. Going on 2yrs this year!
The females are usually much smaller than the males, my male is probably about 6", and they are from the same brood.

I never knew the female we that much smaller than the males! She must make some pretty babies!

Yeah they are a much different shape too, and yes her babies are BEAUTIFUL!
Heres a pic of my male.
