This little one followed me home from the lfs today My first convict, ~1-1.5" long. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I assume by the orange marking that it's a female?

Wow! I must admit, that is the nicest colored convict of that size that I have ever seen! Usually it's hard to tell the sex of a convict until they hit about 2-2.5 inches. Nice pick up!

Most female convicts start showing their color around the 1" mark.
