We have a second tank stocked with two beautiful female convict cichlids, and we have been trying to ind a male to breed with one of them.

Instead of having to pay $15.00 for a male shipped, we called our lfs today and they told us that they received a group of convict cichlids in.

Our family went tonight and purchased the largest fish in the tank. (the new addition cost $2.99)

Please let us know if you think it is a male or a female?
Current size is around 2"-2.25" & we hope it is a young male.


If this fish turns out to be another girl, can someone PLEASE point us in a direction where a seller or breeder has male convict cichlids available for under $5.00 each?

Looks like it is going to be a male, i really do not see the red coloring behind the pectoral fins like the females get, but never a 100% match do to late blossomers..
