Suspect Electric Yellow

[Dyce]

So I bought 6 electric yellows from the auction, well they''re not the best I''ve seen but I can overlook that, but I have one in the batch which I''m guessing is a male but it has 2 horizontal stripes on its nose. From the images I''ve seen on the internet I haven''t seen any with this, has anyone else had this, and if not I''m guessing they''re hy
ids? fish fish fish fish turkey fish fish gobble

It''s not the ''moustache'' a dominant male can get is it?

Ok I saw it again today when it came out of hiding to eat, but it doesn''t just have a moustache, theres also a strong line curved between the eyes. Or is this also part of the moustache? fish fish fish fish turkey fish fish gobble

I think before some of you blokes start rubbishing other peoples Yellows,you really should learn a little bit more about them, dont forget these fish belong to the Cichlid family. Cichlids can change color at the drop of a hat and Yellows are no different.There are a lot of factors involved which I wont go into here.<

Electric yellows get all kinds of markings, especially when they are moved or stressed.<
>They can go from pure yellow to muddy and dark latteral line in no time.<
>They can get black markings on the lips, sides and face, anywhere really.<
>Most of these marks are temporary, once they settle down they are usually okay. Some markings can take quite a while to disappear.<
