So I was just trimming the bear stalks of my lotas. The ruby barbs LOVE them and eat all the new leaves :cussingwhite: . My female convict layed eggs in the cave right next to the plant. She comes swimming out, gills flaired, fins up and bites me. Just a little nip. So I kept pulling the stems and I guess she got made because she got a good mouthful of my skin, bit down and twisted. Now she is only a small fish, maybe four inches right now, but I could feel her teeth and it felt like a hard pinch. She even left a couple of light scratches on my hand. :hmm3grin2orange: I was just really surprised by the force behind her bite.

I wish I had room for another 30 to put her in and get a male. Hummm, maybe...

Yeah, that's a stunning Convict. Sounds like she'd be a good mother.
