I got this from a website,
How can you tell the difference between a male and female convict cichlid ?
The male has longer more flowing fins and a slight 'lump' on his 'forehead' whereas the female is more rounded with rounded fins, usually smaller than the male. The female also develops more intense colouring during breeding.
Will this hold true even when they are young? I've heard a girl will have a gold spot on her belly, will she even have this spot when she is young?
