Cichlids Hiding

Hi Everyone

Sorry if im asking a question thats already been answered.

2 of my Female Convicts are hideing.

1 is just sitting under a rock and the other is under my moss ball and it keeps moving stones out to make a cave type thing...Does this mean it could possibly be breeding time ?

Please Help

Thanks

cons dont usually hide unless being picked on ...they will dig pits though prior and during breeding ...

for 3 cons a 15 gal isnt much space for them to get away from one another and the male will pair up with one of the females and kill the other one ...maybe return the male ? or upgrade the tank will help

yes she will if she pairs up..so will he...ive had one of my fems kill a male twice her size they are super agressive fish and even more so when in breeding mode..they need at least 20 gals or more alone when breeding..
