With Convicts, male + female = eggs  ;D  As long as both fish are ready to breed they should be quite happy with each other.  Just keep an eye on any possible aggression, as often males are ready to breed at an earlier age than females.  If he's ready and she's not, he could knock her around some  :-\

Convicts for sure.  Other fish can be a little more selective.
