i am looking to buy a black female convict. I am looking for a high quality, colorful convict around 1-2". i was wondering if there is a vendor that is selling them. I live in kalamazoo, Michigan. If you have any pictures that would be great.
 
If your in Kalamazoo, you could probably just go to deep sea pets, or any of the other commercial pet shops around. Convicts aren't that hard to find, are you looking for something special?
 
im not going to petco to get a hybrid. I saw a orange finned convict from jeff rapps. Deep sea is closed down. i was looking for something like a black but maybe a little different. i dont like marble or the pink. I was also thinking about getting a rotkeil severum.
 
Jeff Rapps has very nice convicts. You could go with a Honduran Red Point, if you want something a lot like a con, but a little different. :) Pink cons are not all that bad, there just never seems to be nice ones anymore :(

ya thanks but im just looking for a female convict. Does anyone have a picture of an orange finned convict? I posted on jeffs forum, Now im just waiting. Do you guys know of any other options of convicts?
 
true, but I have found that the ones sold in the big stores (PetsMart, Petco) to be pretty bland, not much color . . . the LFS near me had some that were much better looking, had darker stripes and more color on the fins . . .

I think it's worth shopping around to find a quality fish . . .
 
ya my local pet shop have them but they are really bad looking and dont have much color. I found jeff rapps has 2-2.5" f1 convicts that i think i might get. They look pretty good. Does jeff rapps have a minimum order on fish?







 
A convicts a convict. You're wasting your time looking for a special convict IMO unless you're really interested in breeding some wild ones or a calico or something. If you ever come to this side of the state I have a nice 2-3" female if you want her.
