Tankbert's Tropical Fish

The webcam is usually aimed at my 29 gallon aquarium, containing 4 Clown Loaches and small group of Convict Cichlids. This page features a pair of Convict Cichlids and fry that have taken over the right half of the tank.

 
This shows the right side of the tank where a pair of Convict Cichlids spawned. This is the female guarding the remaining fry (4 visible). At this date they have been free swimming for about 3 weeks. About 50 fry hatched, but due to predation, they number about 5 at this point.

 

Convict defensive posture. Notice the extension of the fins compared with the picture above.
