Female Convict Question

[tehbatmaan]

I have 3 Female Cons in my 150 Gal. and absolutely no males I am 200% sure about that. Other than one single from thats not even .5" yet, my GF made me keep him due to he survived my Oscar. Anywho my question is one of the Females is hiding in a "cave" in a rock I have, one way in/out type of thing. My question is she is acting like she has eggs but I can't see it due to its placement. So can any other fish in there fertalize for her? There is 1x Oscar, 1x GT, 3x Female Cons, 1x Firemouth, 1x Jewel, 1x Bumble Bee, 1x Ice Blue Kenyi, 2x Tiger Barb, and I believe that is it. Is there anyway it is possible way that she got knocked up? She hasnt been with a male in over 2 weeks and yesterday I had to do a 95% water change due to my little cousin dumping in a whole container of pH buffer made for Africans at 7.8 pH, I did it because I would rather be safe than sorry and yeah. Thanks in advance.

I have no idea of the other Cons sex yet like I said it is small. I dont even know if its alive anymore probably got eaten. And I was being generous with .5" still a fry barely starting to get color now. Nothing really distinctive yet.

Firemouths can fertilize convict eggs. More than likely though, she just laid them and is guarding them, and they're unfertilized. Otherwise, you'd see the firemouth helping her.
