daaang, i dunno whats going on but i want! My cons do vary in that iridescent coloring but nothing like that. mine always are blue or green.

 

[james_unknown]

oh and the white spots at the back of the fins and the base of the tail fin ive never seen that either

i have one just like that i got it from a petsmart tank. i dont know what it is exept for a convict cichlid. im guessing it would have to do with what it is doing because mine turns all black when i put in a rosey red minnow in his tank

i know its a con im asking the sex of it cause i thought it was a male with the fins and no orange but i havent seen a male with the yellow ieredence before

I say male, but I also don't think it's a pure con...looks like it could be a con x HRP.
