Yellow Lab Holding

[patchman]

my labidochromis is holding, the funny thing is, i thought it was a male because its the largest in the tank, has the brightest and most distinguishable features, the other lab is dull in comparison, i have another 10 gal tank, should i put it in there?

I had this surprise with my best female lab, she looks like a male, behaves like a male and has eggspot lol. I would remove her and place her in the 10G, make sure the water is the same as the main tank. Dont feed her in her tank either. Have fun and good luck

she is in her own tank now, jus scoping out her surroundings, how long does the holding period last?

They hold from anywhere from 3-5 weeks, mine are mostly 4 weeks although some smaller females only hold for 3 weeks due to there imaturity.
