Question
i bought 2 convicts a month ago. and isnt sure who's the female. i mean i was told that females have a red bellie and males don't, but its been a month now and they have no babies yet (i wonder why?) can you tell me what i need to do, could it be that the tank is too small (10 gallon) or not enough things to put in?

Answer
Hi Vang,
Your problem is probably that you have 2 males or 2 females. They would have breed already if they have been in there for a month. Although they may have breed and now the female is pregnant. Like you said its only been a month.
Hope This Helps
