Gary,
I agree with you on the large caudal blothc/streak on the tail in panduro,
but I have only seen this on panduro male's.  I haven't seen this on a
female...has anyone else.  Now, in one of my spawing trio's of nijsseni,
there is one female, who when stressed gets a caudal blotch/streak like
the one on Simone's photo.  If she does it again I will get a photo, right
now she is in spawning coloration again.  :)
