Kennyi spawning again

[vantgE]

I am still happy that they spawned last time and now again, I have 21 from the last batch and they had spawned once int eh tank a single survivor, so this is three times in six months amazeing and with 20 fish per spawn $1 per fish My main fish tank will be paid back in 5 yearsish,

But how often can I expect breeding?

Is it possible that the others johanni and elongatus are spawning and I haven't noticed? are the different species less pronounced in there bucal thing?

Oh and an unrelated question, who knows when johanni females get there full yellow colors?

Non stop!

It's always possible, but I'd think you would notice. Some shy females may hide out a lot while holding though.

Females and males are born yellow, it's the male that turns blue.

ooh thanks

well i don't have any yellow ones I have two brown ones two and four inshes, then a five inch blue one with yellow at the tips of it's fins(I was thinking dominant female but maybe not) and a brown and blue one four inches, one blue one four inches

I have asked this before but never got a clear answer and still am confused thanks freddyk

The 5" blue one is your dominent male, and it sounds like the brown ones are subdominent males - unless it's a really large tank only one male tends to show full coloring.
