Well I have a few questions...I have two convicts I bought a few months ago... the male has bluish color on the fins the female has some what looks orange and also has some bluish on fins...they are one their third set of fry..the first got eaten by other fish. Then I moved them to a smaller tank they had second batch there the female was fighting with male so toook male out..after a few weeks I put female in with the male again..so again they seem to have eggs but can't see them....they are hidden..Now the questions...my female changes color from dark to light with the light..is that normal for convicts??I believe the male does too..he's a nice darker color since I took hi out of the smaller tank...they fry all got their strips .except like 5 off them they are all white...is that normal?? Or will they get their strips later??here some pictures of male and female...sorry pictures not to clear ..the first two are the male.then female
