My convicts are not breeding. I was told by the lady at the pet store that these fish are suposed to be surplus breeders. They were on sale for 89 cents or somthing really cheap so i got 4. They are over a year old now and i havent seen one baby. I dont know if it is possible to have gotten all 4 males but 3 are darker and 1 is lighter also one has a what looks like a big brain. I dont know what i am doing wrong.

do any of your convicts have red/orange coloring on their bellies? that is the most common identifier of a female . . .
i have never bred convicts but plan to and i read the thread by hybridtheory and he said to give them a cooler water change to induce breeding try to separate one female and one male so their alone and add a rock or something for them to breed on
