Zack and Mike........aren't the females of Morado just a bit different??????? I remember having a spawn of Morado's some year or so ago and thinking that this little female was quite something.......different than the rest so to speak. We all have seen apisto females but the black markings were really quite something on this female Morado......or am I having a memory thing???????.....;-) It seems to me some black marks on the chin...some black on the body between the anal fin and the caudal ....very dark black pattern on the body and ....oh well....it seems I'm describing about all of the female apisto's in the world??
