I found a convict of decent size, about 4-5" but i dont know how convicts are supposed to look but i always thought there were all black and white. But the one at the lfs had this yellowish coloring on there sides. Looked like a diesease but couldnt put my finger on it. And also how much would you pay for a con of that size?
 
can anyone at least give me some pics of your normal looking ones or do i have to go to the photo lounge
 
it looked pretty clear i dont know much about them, but it looked like this,

is this a normal female? my bad if it
 
Yes that's a normal female in breeding colors. They are almost always ready for action.
Unless stressed by extreme over crowding or very poor water. Even then they will breed.
 
Mine was colored up real well and she was alone in a 30 gal tank with excellent water. I think the females just put their make-up on in the HOPES a male Convict will come along lol The female Cons are one of the prettiest fish there is with their blue, green, yellow and orangee. Too bad they're so mean.
