Thanks! I agree quality fish are hard to find, but they are there. I’ve found all of my petsmart cichlids to look great. My petcos are pretty good too, but not always.Beautiful. The quality of convicts at my local petco is trash. Very inbred. My petsmart on the other hand has actual high quality genetics. I'll have to show off my petsmart male some day. He's small at barely 3 inches but long flowing fins and agressive as ****. 3x more agressive then other males I have. He prefers attacking other fish over food.
This convict was in with lots of much smaller ones. There was a large male in another tank. My only guess is that they were the parents. Can’t explain the good colors beyond luck!
