Old pic of 2 male Convict in the 180 .
They have gotten larger than the mature spotted silver dollar in the pic. I didn't realize they could grow that large until duanes stated it on a thread.

Well the large convict lasted a couple years in the 180gal until I found him beat up. Had to move him and his 2 off springs to the 55gal with the senegals.

Large convict? More like mini amphilophus! LOL. What an impressive fish.

What happened? Was he old? It seems like you rescued him in time?

Yes removed him from the 180 last year where the striped male convict almost killed him. Noticed the smallest convict has a bacterial issue so probably died from that.
