Thats the Male, he won't allow his woman near the camera.

Very pretty, my group is busy attempting to eat each other. My smallest one lost her entire tail but she's recovering. If you get any offspring maybe we could do a swap to mix up the genes a bit.

beautiful male

Very nice

Is the male in breeding colors or does he look that way all the time? Hows the aggression compared to a typical convict?

I've got some, all of them are a gorgeous neon ice blue except for the two lowest in the pecking order. I believe that's their coloring most of time and it just intensifies when breeding. Aggression with these guys isn't too bad as far as cichlids go. I've never owned a convict but my guys only seem to really pick on the lowest in rank if they try and enter their territory. For the short time I've had them I have not witnessed any behavior where they were trying to bully a fish to death, like my jewels did.

I have one separated recovering from having her whole tail taken off, but she's super small compared to the rest, was bound to happen when they had to establish a new pecking order. To say the least they're an absolutely gorgeous fish, I wasn't going to get any until I saw them in person and decided a tank had to go up for them.
