hey looking at my blues today, and one of my females is showing a bit more blue than the others, with the bars being more visible.<
><
>now has this girl just got good colour or is it possibly a male mimicking a female to avoid a scrap with the 2 dominant males?<
><
>i''m not 100% on this, just that the other females have very little if any blue.<

I''d just watch it interact with the rest.<
>If it''s a boy on the sly he''ll betray himself or the other males will beat him up or he''ll get a mouthful..... in which case he''s a she.<

dammit, it''s a boy.<
>his white stripe is becoming more visible, he''s a bit smaller than the other 2 males, which is why i guess he''s not showing as much colour.<
