So, I've had a lot of devastation in my female/fry tank lately and posted several times in the emergency and discussion forums... about time I posted something possitive! (BTW, down to one survivor in my female tank and the problem seems to be coming to an end at long last).

Anyhow... wanted to post a picture of one of my "shemales". I previously had one from my first batch from Gemini that was a blue tailed baby that completely turned from looking female to be quite multicolored and a male. Well... its now been 3 1/2 months and my other baby I've been going back and forth about has also shown himself to be a male. :lol: I will post some pictures to show what a change he has made... its quite surprising. I only kept these two males from that batch of fry so I know there was no mixing them up... its been an odd batch.

This is the other male that made a big change...

I've named him Mystery since I couldn't figure out if he was male or female for so long.

He lost the yellow in his tail within the next month.

Today (July 31)
Most of his body color gets washed away when the flash goes off... he is a very very pale blue... sort of baby blue color.

Oh and wondering what you all think of the tail shape on Ben10 (obviously, one of my kids named this one) :lol:

Ok... technically this picture is worse but its the best one to show off the tail shape.

What do you think of that? It stopped growing in the middle a couple of weeks ago... is this a lyretail forming or some other shape?
