convict breding

[young_cichlid]

can you crossbred pink and black convicts?

[Ocellaris]

Yes. They end up looking kind of like Brett Hart's wrestling gear.

Of course, since they are the same species - Archocentrus nigrofasciatus. Color variations are man-made by selective breeding; they are still the same species.
Usually the fry will be 75 percent normal convicts, while the rest may be partially or wholly pink. The genetic markers to make a convict a convict are more dominant than the recessive gene that results in the pink morph. Thus, you'll get a lot more regular convict cichlids from a spawn than you would pink ones.
