	Green Terror Colour Change
littlechris Hobbyist Posts: 82 Kudos: 162 Votes: 0 Registered: 22-Apr-2004	Have noticed my 4" female has darkened in colour quite dramatically recently, is this normal or something I should be concerned about (Water conditions good) She is currently in a 90 gal with bossy 6" male. Any ideas would be great

I'd say there's a good chance they may breed soon. I wouldn't be surprised if you start seeing more breeding behavior like the 2 flaring at each other, shaking next to each other and cleaning off a rock or other surface to lay the eggs. Jason
