Hi,
I have a question about convicts. Mine will not go to the top for food. It does not matter what I feed. It will only eat out of the lower middle or bottom. Is this normal for convicts?

Give it time... my boyfriend had his convict for two years in a crowded tank and he was going to flush it cos he complained he never saw it ...yes he is a moron :)... so i took it.. within 3 weeks it would come flying out when ever it saw me and do an oscar like food happy dance. once they feel safe.. they will come out :)

i have to totally agree.if fish feel crowded or threatened they will not act the same as they would without these things bothering them.

female cons will have orange spotting on their bellies. This is more evident when they are in the mood for lurrrve
