Hey guys! So some of you may have seen my last thread. Well the Marbled Convict turned out to be female, abit bummed. But went out and found what i think is a fantastic male for her. My intention will be to breed them, and then breed one of the babies back to her in the hopes of getting some...

this was the tank we started with had a few different types of cichlids in here then soon after they all began to out grow it so it’s now become the convicts tank with one male, one female, 3 danios, & 2 buenos aires. you can see the difference from before we added the female and after it’s...

My Convict pair ate both batch of their eggs laid. And they are just matured and new parents. Now male chases female and female is seriously injured. So I had to move the female to another tank and introduce a new female for the male so that they breed again! Now the new couple is showing...

Hey guys. This is my first post here but i'm definitely not new to the hobby. I just moved a tank from my bedroom into my office and I'm trying to decide what to do with it. I know this topic has been brought up multiple times but this is a completely different discussion. I have a male convict...

If anyone's seen my other thread I talked about crossing two completely different species of cichlids... I was wondering how a convict x texas would work. Main difference here is one is nearly twice the size of the other. I was wondering how the personality would turn out, what the size of the...

Back in my early days of fish keeping, I got what was displayed as being a “flower horn” but in reality turned out to be a black convict. The price difference on these two fish was 20$ which isn’t a lot considering how much flowerhorns normally go for, but still... AT MOST!!! It’s possible in...

Just wondering if there is a better fish for breeding for live foods for big SA cichlids

I got two convict cichlids a few days ago and I heard that they lose their stripes when they are stressed, which is what the female does (but she mainly has the stripes, just loses them if you first walk into the room), but the male never has stripes, and he has a slightly red tail. Is he sick...

Im about to buy a 100 gallon tank 5ft long about 2ft tall and about 2ft front to back. My plan for the tank is a cichlid tank not african. I was planing to put a jaguar in it with maybe 2 convict cichlids or maybe a madagascar cichlid what type of cichlid would be best with a jaguar cichlid. I...

Hello, I have gone to Grand Teton National Park many times. One of the most interesting places to visit is Kelly Warm Springs. It is a geothermal spring that stays warm enough to sustain Central American Fish. I used to go out with a net and catch plenty as a child, never kept any just caught...

So ten days ago, on a whim, I got a pair of convicts. I mentioned this pair in the Monster Convict thread. I got them from The Wet Spot. They had a colony of them in a big tank, with some other fish in there a couple JDs, a couple Oscars, a mayan cichlid all around 6in or so. So this male had...

Hello, I have three fish (two convict cichlids and one green terror). However, I don't know if they are male or female. I was hoping someone could help me identify them! I attached one photo of each.

I think it might be pink convict, but my friends said no. The seller label this as white acara.

Convicts had babies while I was away.
