yup. many believe cause of their taxonomy that they are separate species. but if you look at all four they looks the same size , color, and marking with slight variations in them.

Oh ueah they are way too small for him . I had an odd pair like that of blue cons. The male was a solid 4" and the female was 1.5". I wouldn't chance it thought. With that diet get religious with water changes. That will help them grow too.

Preachin' to the choir about waterchanges!!!
I used to be an angelfish breeder, Philippine Blues require weekly 50% water changes of RO/DI water. I still do that with all my fish even tough as nails cichlids!

black belts are old lady (vieja) cichlids. completely different genus and fish.

the five convict like cichlids including cons are

Amatitlania coatepeque- Restricted to Lake Coatepeque, El Salvador.
Amatitlania kanna- Ranging from the very Southeast of Costa Rica to Panama.
Amatitlania nigrofasciata- Ranging from Southern Guatemala to Northern Honduras.
Amatitlania siquia- Ranging from Honduras to Costa Rica.
Amatitlania sp. “honduran red point”- Endemic to the Rio Danli, Honduras

Doomie, are you double posting for points?? hehehehe
 
Lol no its my laptop. For some reason it does that now.
 
Try to take pics of the babies but the color doesnt show up, I really hit exactly what i was trying produce and couldnt be happier with these guys. Alot of my friends are trying to buy them from me as i type lol.
 
Cool Ernie. Glad you achieved what you wanted. Put a few fry up for me :D
 
I dont think that i told you guys but i separated the HRP x calico pair a week ago and put the HRP male with my parrot female, Can you say HRP x Parrot? they are breeding right now as i type lol. I wonder how these babies will turn out? no one has done this pairing atleast not on record but i did see an HRP x midas that look really nice. Im happ as hell lol.
