My convict recently recovered from a ruptured swim bladder that had him sitting on the bottom of the tank for 6 months. Now that he is well, he has turned MEAN! I can't remember if he was ever this mean before his injury but I don't think so. Don't get me wrong, it's pretty neat, and I'm glad he's feeling good enough to be a little jerk. But it's so funny to walk by the tank and have him flare, lunge at me, and strut around like a mini-Midas. I love it. :)

Nice, glad to hear he came back from it. Most people would have just flushed him, or fed him to something bigger.

I've never seen a convict with that coloring before, pretty cool looking. Gonna get him a girlfriend? Sow the seeds of love? Play some Barry White in the background??? ;)
 
He looks small but he's nearly 6" TL. He's a marble (sometimes called calico). It's by far my favorite convict coloration, but very hard to find. :)

He used to have a marble girl but, surprise surprise, he beats up females. I think at this point I might give him some barbs to chase but that's about it, haha. I also am in the process of overhauling his tank with a 3D background and (finally) substrate!
