White Convict Cichlid 7cm
This aquarium-bred strain is just as hardy as the wild type. Convicts are an ideal beginner's fish for anyone wanting to enjoy the sight of a cichlid pair raising their fry. They are extremely hardy and breed readily - even when in the presence of much larger fishes. They are very territorial when breeding, so tankmates should be robust or agile species. Males develop longer fins and ripe females often display red in the dorsal fin and on the abdomen. Males grow to about 12cm, females to 8-10cm.
