lol it could be now! im not sure. my female was doing something weird last night up in my rock formation and they are spending alot of time in the cave. so i guess this could be the reply you wanted!

THEY'VE LAID EGGS!!!!!!!!

Congrats man. Looks like I'm doing a rescue today and taking in a Black Con as well. Maybe some FMxCons or TexasxCons. :naughty:

do convicts usually build nests? mine are building a very large nest in one corner of my tank the i have reserved for them, but was just curious and it is getting pretty big.

Yes they will build a nest near where they will lay, after they hatch they'll move the fry, maybe several times.

Expect them all to die. Convicts are absolutely nasty when pairing. Not saying all of them will, but someone may be deceased. I've heard of Cons killing Jags twice their size.

They will get in the face of a big fish but they don't always come out on top.
pair of white con's fending off a male La Ceiba yellow head (he's considerably bigger then them (4x) but the angle of the pic doesn't show it well)

ouch, that would suck. i have only had one fish deceased since the cons began to spawn and it was my last firemouth! but they are doing great now!
 
im sure i could try and get a few, my tank is very cloudy for some reason, so i am going to do a water change and maybe then i can get you guys some decent pics!
