these are my black convicts i had since they were tiny.
they finally had fry after almost 6 months.. there shoving the JD's into a coner of the tank..
 
I have no idea. Get a better pic. :D Set your camera to macro (little flower icon).
 
Gonna have aggro problems in that lil tank girl. Especially if one of the pairs decide to breed. Its all good, just keep an eye out. In regards to your JD's, your are still a little too young, but males have little to no speckles on the bottom of their gillplate, where females are full of speckles on the gills and less on the body. Your gonna need to upgrade the JD's tank, but in the meanwhile..... Enjoy!!
 
your jacks are to young to sex at 3in they are sex-able, you will have some aggression issues soon so you might wana get the fixed asap
 
yeah.. i noticed.. i wasnt expecting my convicts to breed. i had them for over a year. and the jacks were a presant.. i'm getting a new tank soon i hope.. but i think i have two males =\
 
Nice tank,,JDs are a great fish..Hope you get a breeding pair,its fun to watch there behavior..
