Just to point out, for convicts, the females are going to present more color than the males.
well my male con just died a lil bit ago i found him in my filter tubes so ya i got him out and he just had flared out gills and swimed up then slamed into the gravel so RIP son!!
****, something must have been seriously wrong with your tank conditions for a convict to die. They are perhaps the most prolific cichlid ever. Ive seen them live in the most horrible of tank conditions. He must have had a disease.
True that. A friend gave me her surviving male con--I named him Lazarus. I can't even go back to thinking what that tank looked like . . . .
my tank is really healthy he just died from being up in the filter tube and the water perssure was forceing his gillplates to stick out mustive been in there for more then a day as wen i left he was fine and swimming round then i came back and up he was in teh filter so mustive been from lack of oxygen goin threw the gills as he wasnt able to shut them or move them by any way
