lol too funny where are you guys seeing pink? i just asked if a black convict and a regular convict are the same-clearly there the exact same i had to go online for that one but thanks to you all for trying to answer-also i asked if they were breeding to younf there only 3months old but obviously they havent eaten them and the parent are still watching over them so thats a good thing. i guess my fish kinda answered my main question. have a good day
Black convict are regular convicts. There's only 2 types of convicts, black and pink, both are the same specie it's just the pink convict is a color morph of the regular black convict. Besides those 2 types there are no others besides the balloon variation which is just a regular black convict that has been bred for the short body gene, often called polar parrots for how similar they look to the blood parrot body design. In short, yes, regular convicts are black convicts.
Also yes it is completely normal for these fish to breed as small as 1in and sometimes smaller. It's an adaptation for when they used to live in the wild with far larger predatory fish. When your towards the bottom of the food chain it makes sense to repopulate ASAP before ya get eaten by something far larger.
Thirdly don't be an Ahole to the other members of this site just because you don't get the exact info you want right away, especially over something that only takes 5 mins of being on Google to look up yourself. It's mean and totally uncalled for. This is a site for personal growth and a community to come together to help eachother out over a hobby we all enjoy, it's not a site where you need to put ppl down just because they misread something or don't give you the exact information that your looking for.
So next time your looking to get information on something here just be more direct with the questions and try not to be so abrasive to ppl to misunderstand/misread them.

did answer the only question I see in your posts- pink and striped convicts are the same. Black convicts are what I assume you're referring to when you say "regular convicts"- these are also called striped convicts. All different names for the same fish. "pink" convicts are another color morph of the same fish as well.
