Is This A Problem?

[snake007]

My pink convict (unsure of the sex) about 2 and a half inches, its belly is going abit orange and looks abit rusty, is this normal?

Thanks

I think females have that orange blotch, so nothing to worry about!
Would get a second opinion though!

Normal female Convicts develop an orange patch on their belly, so would imagine that your pink con will be a female.

Hmm if this is the case I thought female cons weren't that aggressive, my one is a big bully.

All depends on the individuals temperament.

Very true, the other pink convict has the rusty look but only a little bit - is this a male or another female, Also the female con is looking abit fat, I only feed once a day on a small amount of cichlid pellets. the occasional blood worm and shrimp.

How big is she and how old? She may be getting full of eggs hence the orange colouration.

Not sure how old she is but shes only 2 inches and a bit, only had her for 2 months
