Hi, guys, I luckily rescued a pair of calico convict in dirty bottom tanks at lfs, they are all full grown size, pretty big convict I have seen.
I suppose I got a male and a female, but the female has no red belly. Not so sure if it is actually a female, but "she" is at the size of 4", I heard ppl had their female con lost red belly at older age
Some opinions?
Thank you.!

Jealous! That is a very good pick up, I've been dying to get my hands on a marbled/calico convict for ages!

It's difficult to say if the smaller one is female. On another note, that male is absolutely gorgeous. Few Cichlids impress me as much as a stalky, thick, full-grown male Convict. If you take good care of him, he will start to grow a long flowing caudal fin. IMO, this is one of the most beautiful and unique features of large male Convicts.
