ok i had 2 mating pair of convicts all 4 black n silver in 2 seperate tanks nothing else in the tanks at all , i have had no other fish have babies , the babies in each tank were getting big so i got a net scooped out most of them from both tanks and dumped them in a oscar tank the tank had 1 single oscar in it and no other fish. now after a few weeks the babies are much much bigger but to my amazment there is 1 baby that i feel stupid even saying this, but it is not a convict!!!!!!!!!!:WHOA: its got a long body and light stripes and blue fins i am so confused and in utter amazement. please look n tell me im not crazy! also please id it it sounds crazy but this is the gods honest truth!
theres also 1 other baby that came from same tanks of the breeding convicts thats pinkish yellow theres pics of it to. all 4 convict parents are black n silver :eek: .

I see a red zebra and a blue zebra. Both Metriaclima sp. Could be M. estherae and M. callainos or they could both be M. estherae of the Minos Reef variant of which males are blue and females are red.
Do you have mbuna in your home at all?

Maybe there was eggs in the net from the african tank and when you scooped out the convict babies they miraculously survived..
