Local petsmart got these in today and I couldn't resist their bright colors!
Had a spare 29g lying around so snagged them.
Dont know too much about cons, but I believe females have the orange belly and males are dark w/ blue fins?

I believe, and somebody should correct me if I am wrong, that those aren't pure convicts. They are rather a convict x Honduran Red Point cross. Your typical convicts won't have the color in their fins, but the females do always have orange on their bellies. HRPs have a slightly different shape than normal convicts but they have the color in their fins, typically normal convict don't have color like that. they're super cool fish regard and they're going to breed like rabbits. I have a gorgeous pair that have already spawned 3 times in the past 2 months. My female has a little more color than yours but my male has none. I think he is more on the normal convict side and the female is more on the HRP side. I caught them in a hot spring in nevada where somebody had released a bunch and the mass produced.
