Convict

Looking to breed some HRP with convicts but wasn't 100% on of this is a female. Certainly looks like one

Females have orange on the lower body belly area

Yeah this one does but not as vibrant as other convicts I've seen. You think it's a male then?

How big is the fish? Could just be juvenile colours and the orange may come through more , even without the orange I’d say you have a female off the shape of the fins and shape of the face

It's fully grown. My friend got left with him in his 700l and needs it gone so was going to try cross breeding them. It's big I've got to say for a convict.

Females are generally smaller , noticeably smaller , I would have a bet on female but I’m not 100% @Wills will tell you the definite answer ,

The pointy dorsal fin would make me think Male but if it is big as in fully grown at 5-6 inches I’d expect the head shape to be a bit blockier but I’d say Male overall

Yeah I had a feeling it was a male. Thanks for the info.
