That would be awesome!!!! You can use my email address: patrice_lapointe at yahoo.ca

Please include your name in the email so I can credit you for the picture (only if you want to).

Thank you so much for that!!!

I hope you’ll figure that problem with your fish. When I have that problem, the first thing I do is to add more hiding places in the tank. In most case, this fix the problem. When it does not fix the problem, I usually assume the tank is simply too small or too much fish in the tank.

good luck and thanks again

humm…
Could be mating issues or tank size. How big is the tank and what are the other fish?
In most case the bigger the space and the more hiding places, the less aggression problems you’re going to have.

You wouldn’t have a picture of your convict cichlids by any chances? I have been looking for an image to add to this post for a while but haven’t found any yet

i was wondering why my male keeps beating on my female like continuously every time he see’s her… would it maybe be that the tank is to cold cuz it’s pretty cold and or is it bacause of the other fish i have in the tank

Some caves / flower pot will certainly help. If they already spawned, I would say it’s a little late but I would not worry. Convict Cichlid are profilic breeder so they will breed again and again.

i have 9 convents and a jack dempsey in a 75gal tank 2 of them just had about 75 to 100 fry and another two of them just paired together i think they may have spawned but i am not sure i need to clean my tank and change some of my rocks to a flower pot and add some pcv pipe is this going to be ok if they did spawned does anyone know or can help

This is a really neat looking fish, I wish you would have posted a pic of the female, they have some great coloring.
