Actually I think your right I noticed orange sort of gold streeks on her sides if you look close enough too in the photo right in the middle of her body you can see the color variation

I did just try putting some protein sinking wafers and crunched a few up and they all seemed to go for them I just don't think there ready for large sinking pellets. I'll try giving them some frozen foods tomorrow and see if they go for them and pick up smaller pellets

I think that's my problem I have large pellets I've seen them knaw on them I'll get smaller ones I'e heard flakes are not so great convicts are bottom feeders and if they try to eat flakes at the top of the tank they can swallow air and get air trapped in there intestines

I'm some what new to cichlids I have 3 convicts what should I feed them pellets or flakes? I can't seem to tell if they are eating the pellets. Two of them are a little over 3in and the other one is about an inch and a half

Just keep in mind if you have a male and female guppie chances are your going to get fry they breed like crazy

Really you think I assumed it was a male based on the way his bodies growing

Here is a better one last one

This is the replacement for the female

You would not belive how hard it is to get a picture of these fish male or female?

I just need you to guess 2 more I retured the female and got what I think is a male he' much smaller

From experience of having Bettas with other lager fish can be tricky they can be quite shy and be intimated to come out during feeding

And what could I put in there to eat the fry that will still get along with the convicts?

And last one male or female?

What about this one? It keeps following the "suspect" female

That' what I though too but I just talked to someone who said they had breed them too and only 1 in 5 of the females had orange bellys. Pretty sure it's a female based on the shape of the body
