Had this convict for a year now. Bought it when it was half an inch big. This is the best looking convict I have ever owned and I want to have some of its offspring.

Can anyone tell me if it is a male or female?

I love the bright orange in its belly and dorsal fin. This photo truly does not do the beauty of this fish justice.

Are you 100% sure?
 
in my last fish tank there was originally 2 pairs of convicts...6 month later, I had 6 breeding pairs...yes, I am certain no male convicts will have orange patch on their belly.
 
Cool thanks. Now I have to go find a male for her.
 
Any tips on finding a male convict? They all look the same at the fish store to the untrained eye.
 
Only the female convict will have the orange on its belly they are one of the easiest fish to sex some have more then others but if there is any orange on the belly area it is a female and also the male will get the carnel hump on his head
