Can sub-dominant males also have black on the first ray of their pectoral and dorsal fins? A few of the web resources I've found seem to use that to distinguish females and sneaker males, but I have a borellii I suspect is male with the black coloration.
(S)/he has gotten markedly larger and more blue-and-yellow since coming home, though not as colored up or large as my dominant male. His/her anal and dorsal fins also don't extend as far back as the big male's.
So far, I've been unsuccessful at getting useful finnage pictures. Are there any other characters I should look for to differentiate females and submissive males in this species? Thanks!
