male australia
hi, i have four lombardoi and 3 electric yellows in a 4ft tank. when i bought the lombardoi 18 months ago, 3 of them were brilliant blue and one was yellow. i read on this site that the females are blue with black bars and the males are yellow. about a year ago, the blue ones started turining yellow, then about 6 months ago, one started turing back to blue but then went yellow again. has this ever happened to anyone? whats the go?

it says they can be confused w/a male

Comments: Under stress the female may become so pale as to be confused with the male.


do you think its under stress?

it could be. water paremeters are good but the male seems to chase the other three all around the tank all the time. he seems to be very aggresive (although sometimes he is provoked).
