I’m wondering if anyone can help to identify what’s going on here. I added 2 male and 6 female Endlers to my community tank about 2 months ago. They were bought locally from a really reputable dealer where they were segregated in sexed tanks; however, over the past couple of weeks I’ve noticed one of the “females” developing coloured markings.
All the females looked virtually identical when I bought them and I’ve recently had my first brood of fry and have 2 others heavily gravid which is really exciting!!
But, this one female mentioned above has developed black spots and orange and blue tail markings. She’s significantly larger than the true males as you’ll see in the attached photos. Can anyone please provide some insight as to what might be going on here?
Thanks in advance.
