Alright, so I have a trio of Orange Flash Apistos. Both of which females have spawned and raised fry 1-2 times before I put them in my 20 gal community.
They have not spawned in atleast 2 months.
In the past week or two, I've noticed one of my females has completly changed. Her fins filled out in orange, and the front is elongated and pointy like a males. Her tail is also filled in orange. Her body isn't very yellow anymore either. The male and her are tolerant of each other. I've seen him even display. She didn't have much of a reaction though...
Is it possible she could be changing to male?!? And why would this happen? I know it can be caused by a loss of a male, but, my male is still here and completly dominant over the whole tank.
If a pic is need I will post a comparison pic.
Thanks!
