I saw that online, but I thought that was not useful if the fish were of the redder color variations...can you let me know if I'm in error, Scott?
It has always worked for me but I guess it could sometimes fail. I am just so used to looking ( in LFS) at a tank with twenty convicts in it, if you look long enough you are bound to find one (at least).
Good point...I can see how it would work for Cons with standard coloration. Sorry for stepping on the toes, Scott...I learned something from it, though!
so look for a reddish belly for a female on a con...can you describe the red? is it like a faint tint or a bright red??
I've always felt the females belly was more of a metallic burnt orangish color...but naming colors is such a personal thing.

not sure about the coloring...its silver with bluish blackish stripes?...i mean i would assume the male is the fish in the pic without the red belly?
Yeah, pretty much...might have a nuchal hump, too, but that would obviously differentiate him, eh?
