Wild Nut Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Recently, I noticed that my A. australe female, was getting colouration similar to the male on her fins. Anyone have any idea what is causing this? Also yes she is extremely fat. I actually hardly feed them, but this pair just seem to get fat on air. My poliaki female is nowhere near as big as those two and I've had her a lot longer. Also sorry for the horrid photo. The male always chases her off so I had to get what I could.

KillieOrCory Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Sometimes females can display secondary male characteristics. Have you been spraying their water with testosterone? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Nut Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 No. My poliaki female still looks like a female of that species should, and this female's daughters still all look like standard australe females. Maybe she's just letting herself go now the kids are grown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
