Does anyone know about what size a convict reaches sexual maturity? Also,
how long before you can tell sex? I know females get the redish/orange
spot. Thanks.

As soon as the orange belly shows up, watch out. My buddy had a brood in his
tank and about the time the females started showing orange on their bellies
(around 1 inch), one spawned with a 5 inch Jewel. The result was 3 very shy
jewel-shaped pink fish with vertical black stripes. Cute fish but short of
euthanizing them there's no way they'll ever leave that tank. Be careful.
