They're great fish! size -> males get larger colour -> males get more intensely blue shape -> hard to describe, but definitely there mouth -> sometimes the males mouth lock, and end up with whiter lips occelli -> I'm at work now, so can't see mine, but not sure whether the females have egg spots HTH, Paul.

orac Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Fin shape too. Males have longer pectorial fins and pointer end to dorsal fin. For some individuals I had to wait until they spawned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
