Do all black look like this when fully grown?

[Plec123]

i was on another site and there was a most beautiful fish competition and someone posted a pic of their black convict. it looks a lot more colorful than any convict ive ever seen, but if all of them look like this when theyre full grown, im probably gonna go out and buy one. heres the pic:

The only ones that get that orange coloration are females, and most will not get as much orange as the one pictured.

yep there are some really nice cons out there, you just have to look around for them. and only the females will get the orange

that one does not look fully grown. I have a lot of juvenile female look like that but usually lose some color on the fins as they get older. They are most colorful before they breed and will look very washed out and dull after.
