Brian Skidmore of Tampa, Florida had a breeding pair of borelli where one
of the fish (dont remember which one), after the death of its mate changed sex
and reproduced again as a member of the opposite sex. He wrote an
elaborate article about it in the local journal.

met a lady when I was judging a show for the Peoria, IL club who had a pair
of A. agassizi which produced babies and the male died. It took her a
while to find more and the four she found were very young and unsexable.
She had them with the much larger female who eventually changed into a
functional male who bred with one of what turned out to be 4 small
females. She did write an article on her experience for their publication.
Since she was working with so few fish so as to be sure she didn't mix
them up; she convinced me.
