Sexing juvy Convicts?

I think I ended up with two males, is this a problem? It was hard to get a picture so I did a video.

forgive photobucket, just click the video out of the pictures, it has the little play symbol on it.

nope it looks like youve got a pair.

Is it common for them to go up and down the glass?

Can't really see any orange around either of their bellies from those pix so I'm guessing both males.

Fishes especially cichlids will go up and down the front of the glass when waiting to be fed.

I think I ended up with two males...mainly because one is half dead hiding by the filter intake, it keeps 'leaning' against it, I can't even get it to eat, it looks pretty bad off. what should I do?!?

Euthanize it and check you water quality. If you don't have a QT tank you're choices are slim to none.

>.< I don't have a QT tank, I have no idea how to euthanize him. All I have is a gallon bucket I use to transport them around in. How long would they have to stay in the QT tank?

I don't see any reason to euthenize, get a divider!

^^ its a 55 gal hex tank?

Take it back to the store or give it away to someone that is able to care for it. If can't do either, I would suggest adding more hiding places.
