For me, my fish are rather dull. Actually, they are a lot dull! Slowly, the males are attaining their full colour and the females are continuing to be very pale. Because the females are very pale, I can recognize their “gravid” spots. It’s very easy to spot them. However, the non-dominant males are often in the “pale shade,” the really difference I can make are the sight coloration in the anal fin.
Hopefully, these are just young fish and they’ve still some color to be expected.
