Help!! Convict had babies

[Zeon]

Yeah

If the store that ordered the fish in or took it in on trade or surrender can't tell you for sure what it is we can't. That's why most Amphilophus are called Midevile's. Cause typically they are crosses of Midas and Red Devils and not pure breed.
It could be another Amatitlania for all we know, Kana from what I have gathered typically stay lighter like that.

Ok, well thanks for the help

I’ve had him for 2 months and he’s been that color the whole time, the fish store I got him from had some questionable fish hybrids that I had no idea and even people on here had no idea. So I don’t know if he is some kind of hybrid or what. He has the same personality as the yellow convicts, he is a lot more shy.

My male looked almost identical at one point. Looking back I’d probably just attribute it to being kept in what I would now consider a tank that was far too bright with not nearly enough cover.
After being moved to a completely different tank with a ton more cover and much more subdued lighting, that unnatural yellow eventually turned into a light brown. Still a bit unique but more “normal” I guess you can say.

Looking closer at your pics, they look to be in wiggler stage. That's about 3 days that they feed off of a egg sac as they learn to swim etc. Then you need to start feeding. If they hatched today that gives till Monday, then you will need to start feeding them.

Quick question, I’m going to be back later today, and I was wondering how I should go about removing them? And can I remove them if the are still in the wiggles stage?

can I remove them if the are still in the wiggles stage?

You can with a net or siphon them out . I would use a large net over a 5 gallon bucket so fry won't be harmed.

I plan on just picking the log up because it’s attached to the rock bottom where they are at, they now have tails and can kinda move around. Do you think I should remove the now?

Before you move them do you have a seeded sponge filter?

I’m just putting them into a breeder box for 2 weekend and when I get my new tank for the adult fish these guys will take this one over
