It doesn't really matter that much since I don't want to breed anything, but I'm trying to keep all males as far as the cichlids go so nobody would even think of interbreeding between species.

Is there a way to tell if a pink convict is male or female? I know that on the normal coloured ones, the female tends to have orange on her belly, but how could I tell on a fish that is .. well only white?

Sorry, I'm really having problems taking photos anyway, plus this one is like 2" only and white, but for a chance anyone could recognize something, here it is:

I used to have standard convicts and as you say the females have the orange on the belly, so i never really looked at anything else. Do the males and females have different lengths to the top fin? like firemouths. Cant remember. Maybe someone with standard convicts can have a look and post an answer

Female pink convicts also have the pink on they're belly...it's just a little harder to see.

Oh cool, thanks you both!
I can't see anything pinkish on its belly at all yet, so I might just wait a bit still and then call it a male

delboybully, i beleive other then venting, the only way to sex convicts is by the belly/dorsal fin color.
