jamie2548 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Just wondering how old or big before my venustus will start to color up in the face? Do males and females both color like this. At the moment it is about 10cm + and very lime yellow. (Display tank. only one )Quite brightly colored...but no blue in the face? Any help would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yogie Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 The female won't go blue in the face, it keeps the same pattern and colours. If anything it get's a little yellow on the fins. The male will go blue in the face and when in breeding colours go a full green/yellow with blue around the face. Mine started to colour up around the 10cm mark, but that was after i moved it from a 2ft grow out tank to the 4ft. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie2548 Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 Thanks Yogi. I think I might have a female then. Very bright yellow in the fins. Very calm fish too. never chases any other fish around in the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
