i have had 2 convicts killed so far. my flower horn is pretty big and he don't mess with him to much. they were both jittering their bodies today ,and moving rocks and scraping the surface of my slate the last couple days .. almost looks like they are both cleaning a spot for a female to lay eggs. so they both might be male.. i do own a female flower horn that has layer eggs in the past maybe i should pop her in there ..
If you do put the female in there make sure you are able to "babysit" that tank for at least several hours because it could turn into World War 3 as they both compete for the females attention. Then if a pair forms they will kill what ever else is in the tank with them as they prepare to breed. So make sure there is a tank for the "unchosen" male to be moved to.
Thanks for the heads up.. I was thinking the same thing I don't want any other deaths. I am going to wait until next weekend to see if the 2 are male and female or male and male if no eggs I will pull one out and add the female .. i have a couple large tanks i can throw one into
