bcolwell Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Hi folks, as my cobalt blues have grown they appear to be loosing colour. The males in particular are at best a pale blue. They appear to be happy as they are always breading.Any ideas?Thanks,Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbuna Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 thats quite normal for a lot of blue mbuna in breeding dress. M. aurora do that too, this guy goes back to a deeper blue colouration when not in breeding dress.cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammo Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Yeah, seems to be the norm with Cobalts. My boys went nearly white in their peak, supposedly is a sign of a dominant, healthy male. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcolwell Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 Thanks guys, I guess all my males are wanting to breed then . unfortunately even my females don't show the colour you see on the net, not sure why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
