Update: The black 6" male and the beautiful female did breed one time in a community tank but nothing made it. I then put them in a different tank and waiting for them to breed.
I soon bought a male pink convict for another female marbled convict. He was smaller than the female but not much so didn't think they would breed. Well now they bred sizes 2.5-3". I'm a little overwhelmed with fry at the moment they all are free swimming. I'd guess a few hundred of convicts.

Here's some pictures. I decided to take out a handful which were like 45-50 and the damn male bit the crap out of me. Literally even jumped for me almost got out of the tank. I had to check if I was bleeding or not that thing took like a few bites so quick lol Protective parents is an understatement. This was not even a quarter of them there's so many more.
Pic is my marbled female with like 200 or so fry lol

No he's a regular pink convict.
This is the stunner female I want to breed though! She breeds but in a community tank. I have her and a 6" male black convict in a 20 gallon now. I hope they breed again I want to see the outcome. Lol
Wow she really is stunning
I love her markings probably make for nicer fry. I've seen this done before and the male reg con genes take over and all fry come out black. Maybe a better chance if you breed her to the pink con? I've seen that cross as well and most come out full pink and none marble. Grow out some of the fry you have and if they come out marbled Breed a male marbled back to this female and I bet you will get all of them marbled. I could be wrong though that is just from what I seen before. She's really badass though congrats on the spawns
