Raven1 Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I've just put this convict on TM and don't really know whether it is male or female. Your help would be much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.PROPHECY Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 yea ive got a male at the moment that has so much orange and gold on it and its breeding so i kno its a male and mine is also fat so doesnt mean it is female could be a male lol to me the fins look pointed but hey could be wrong lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herefishiefishie Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I should of said mass of orange colouration. Sorry. I have seen the odd male with a slight flash of orange. If that is a male, it's fatnes is a concern too. Gluttony is a problem with convicts. Males are easy to tell when they get older as the develop a fleshy lump ontop of their forehead. And the male will have trials off his fins too. yea ive got a male at the moment that has so much orange and gold on it and its breeding so i kno its a male As in laid eggs, or have raised young. Whats the colour of the other convict? Classic picture of male & female Frenchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven1 Posted November 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Just thought I would let you know that my convict made a large hole at the bottom of the tank and produced some eggs. So there you go, a definite answer to my question. A female. Thanks again for everyone's help. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
