I have a F and M Black Convict, they spawn and raise fry regularly. In the last batch I see a pink colour fry, now .5" long. Anyone know about this. I have read about pink convicts but thought they were from 'Pink' parents, ie a species of their own.

The F and M Black Convict I have are very strongly coloured, black vertical stripes, the F has vivid orange scales along underbelly and base of dorsal.

The pink convict is a genetic variation, not a species. Your pair must be carriers of the pink trait.
