Well, I'm testing my hand at breeding Cichlids, and I started with the easiest, Convicts. Everything is going well, but I'm curious to know what a female con's Breeding Tube looks like? My female has what appears to be a very short stubby turd hanging out, except it's been there for 2 days, and it's slowly getting longer. I wondered if this was the breeding tube? I know for a fact it isn't a turd, but it looks like one, sorta.
