Well its sad to say but all the eggs died. I came home from a Xmas party to find only a few eggs left. Not sure why they died.
 
Seriously STOP! You are all making me want to sideline my EJBD x Thai-Silk Flowerhorn project and start a Blue Pink Marbled Honduran Red Point project. I don't have room for both and you are pulling my brain apart!!!!

That's the lovely thing about convicts they don't require much
 
If anyone is in central Florida, there is a store near me with a nice fat lightly marbled pink convict. Good size, obviously adult, not totally sure if it's male or female but there does seem to be a sheen of reddish metalic color to it that is more visable with flash photography than with the eye in the poor lighting of the store. Here is a pic. Fishy Bizness (Doesn't every state have a LFS named this?) in Merritt Island, Florida. Was just there today. (sorry about the poor quality pic - and it has more spots on the other side, more than this side that is.)100_4638.jpg

Looks like a blackbelt x convict to me definitely not a normal con.
 
The fish is only $6 something in the store. Ocala is, let me see, maybe two hours? Merritt Island is a stones throw away from Cape Canaveral. (from my picture can you tell what sex it is?) It came in a batch of pink convicts. This one is the last one from that batch, none of the others had any black markings. I do want it. I have no where to put it. One unheated outdoor tank where some semi-albino White Clouds reside. Maybe White Clouds would make good Convict food??? hmmm. John/Mr.Fishy, let me know if you intend to drive out to get him. I will have the owner hold the fish and won't buy it myself. If you have not said so one way or the other in a few days I might just go ahead and get it but want to give first chance to someone doing a convict project rather than me holding on to it just in case.
