I don't know, did he escape from prison? Sorry, couldn't resist.

Anyway, I've never heard of this fish, so I couldn't tell you, sorry.

This might help

http://fishprofiles.com/profiles/list.php?term=convict

Could it be the 2nd one on the list? Hard to tell. Looks close, but at the same time, still a bit too different

It does not look like a convict to me. Convicts have black vertical stripes most of the length of their body. The pictures aren't big enough to tell for sure, but it looks like a flower horn to me.

nah, from what I can tell, that's a convict. a bigger pic would help tell for sure but I'm about 99% sure.

no way! no 100% convict, morph of some kind/convict. Convicts have vertical stripes as mentioned, dont see any here. Hes either big time stressed or unhappy in the tank to hold them out.

i'm tellin you, it's a convict. unless i'm seeing things it looks like there's some orange on the belly in the second pic which would make it female.
