My convicts have managed to have some fry on the second attempt after eating the first batch of eggs...whoo hoo!! I have kept the parents and the fry together and seperated them in the tank from the other fish with perspex. They hatched over 10 days ago and they are still really tiny, i can...

It looks as though the eggs have been eaten....gutted!! The black convict has dug a very big whole and the albino is doing the usual guarding, maybe preparing to start again?? Heres a pic to show how they are getting on..

I will try and get a divider tomorrow, ive noticed over the last few hours that the female has taken all the eggs from the edge of the wood in her mouth and headed to the bottom of the hole she has dug, i think she has maybe moved them there, although because it is to the rear of the tank i...

As i am new to this hobby, please bare with me on this..... I have a convict cichlid and an albino convict/zebra cichlid ( not sure which) They have just recently got territorial with each other at the side of some bog wood. They are chasing everything away from this area and i have just today...

Well thats bad news!!, really appreciate all your advice with this, thanks again.

They appear to stick out. The other convicts have smooth scales but this one has them sticking out slightly. Strange

Well today ive noticed that its scales are a little rough compared to the other fish. Its been alot more active today but has been getting attacked by other fish without defending itself, its been swimming into the glass and the rocks. I feel it may be on its last legs but ive found a clear...

I will try not to feed him/her for a day and see how he/she goes on. Not noticed any toilet action as it hides behind a plant now and very difficult to see it. many thanks
