marbled might be better

i bred my male black con and female pink con and only black fry sometimes half of the fry are pink but never marbled :(
 
you are new to breeding fish, yes?
 
Unfortunately because convicts are so easy to breed there is always a easy way for people to get them which is why they aren't worth much to sell.

Even here in Holland most LFS stores won't even give me store credit for fish like the convict or my JD's.

you can try to bread pink convicts.. I bought a few from a store I once worked at. later traded them in to my LFS and they had them listed at 19.99 and all three sold... (I still miss them)


but regular cons are a dime a dozen.
weird, cuz pink and reg convicts are the same price here $1-$2
 
Dont expect to get much at all. There may be some (like myself) that are interested in fully grown nuchal humped huge midas like Convicts. However, at fry age and at 1inch, they are really not worth much. I have seen the same convicts at a pet store for 3 years. They just keep breeding and eating their own fry in the same 15 gallon.
 
you aren't going to make any money breeding convicts...use the fry as feeders.
 
nothing... there pretty hard to give away where i live... My LFS traded 3 african chiclids to a customer for 100 convicts that were 4-5" long...
