For breeding, convict cichlids need clean water and change 20 to 25% of the tank water every 3 days. Don't forget to raise the tank water temperature. To know that the breeding is successful, you can see the male convict cichlid has tekur spots on his anal fin and slowly during the mating period, the male will show the anal fin on the floor of the nest. after that, the female convict cichlid will peck the anal fin spot and the male will release his sperm...

Basically, convict cichlids have a colorful body, but the female will slightly change color during breeding, which will be slightly red or orange on the abdomen. As for behavior, convict cichlid pairs will defend their territories together and the eggs will usually be laid in small crevices....😬
