convict

I recently got two small convict cichlids. The male is always attacking the female, and she has some small bite marks on her tail. The person at the pet store told me the male was trying to breed with the female, but I found it strange that he would bite her fins. :( Help please!!!

OK guys I have a green Texas, a buttikoferi, a convict, a golden jaguar, a rettropinnis bichir, sailfin pleco and a flowerhorn I need help sexing. Please drop your knowledge on me. I'm dying to know what I have. Thanks

Good morning, My male pink convict and female firemouth have had a loose pair bond for a couple of weeks. Her female papilla was out all day and I observed them looking for a place to lay. They were taking all day , when I woke up she was guarding the clutch. I did not see him fertilize the...

Hi guys and girls hope you've all been well. After loosing my big RD hybrid i went into community fish for a little while, but iv started to get the cichlid itch again and ended up buying a little convict. Hopefully going to get a nice tank set up for it with possibly some firemouths but at the...

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.

75 Tank remains clear, but re-occuring algae is a pain. All my rock work is covered as well. I use a PF40-UV when I clean the glass, for spore removal. Tank is currently over stocked with Cichlids, 0 ppm NH3/4 & N2; NO3 regularly climbs to 80+ppm. I know the tank size is too small for any of the...

Here's a video of them eating cichlid sticks, I got a little of everyone unfortunately my chocolate was too busy owning his driftwood cave area to come out but I will make a vid of just him tomorrow. My sajica is really getting some nice colors I love it. The Severums have some battle scars bc...

Here's a vid and some pictures of my crew in their new home. Starting to settle in again, stoked. This isn't permanent stock I will sell and trade as they grow and hopefully have my dream stock soon.

I have an Electric Blue Jack Dempsey (4.5 inch) and one male convict (3 inch) in my tank, but the convict keeps following the ebjd everywhere, always swimming aside it, which is strange for me, since he's usually aggro. They just follow each other around all day, so I can only suspect some sort...

My jardini arowana ate my convict. I came home to late and my arowana swallowed him. After that I came back a few minutes later and I saw his mouth will not close all the way. Some parts of his mouth is red and looks sore. Will he be okay?

COVICT CICHLID NO LONGER A BULLY, NOW TIMID I have 8 cichlids in a 125 gallon tank (see signature). All the fish are pretty small as I've only had the tank a couple months. My convict cichlid was the first (and only) fish so far to be aggression to the other fish. He even nipped at the...

1. ARE WATER CHANGES NEEDED EVEN WITH GREAT TEST RESULTS? I'm running a Fluval FX6 on a 125 gallon tank with a total of 8 small cichlids in it (see signature). I have had the tank setup with fish for about 2 months and my water tests are all coming back pretty good. My most recent water test...

Hi I am interested in starting a red belly piranha tank. My friend just got 5 juveniles and they are just stunning. I currently have a 75 gallon with two 6-7 inch oscars and a 4 inch convict with an AquaClear 110. I do partial water changes everyday say about 10% and I've managed to keep my fish...
