I went to my lfs this afternoon and bought two convicts. There's two convicts left in their tank so i took both of them. The female is clearly a convict, very clear black stripes with oranges on its tummy. I'm not sure if the other one i got is a male convict or if its really a convict. it doesn't have stripes on its body. Please check the photo.

Maybe a hybrid con/hrp.
+1 def dont look like pure con or pure HRP either
 
:confused: i have a female convict in the same tank. Are they going to breed? which is bigger hrp or regular convict?
 
I bought 2 convicts on Sunday too. I made sure I had 2 of the same sex. I have them in a ca community tank and a breeding pair would cause chaos. That fish in your pics looks nothing like any of the convicts I have seen. Good luck with them though!!
 
ok i'll post it later. she's less than 1 inch but already showing the orange color in her tummy. too bad i got something else, i realy want the size of the real convict.
