Re: A nijsseni

[Ken Laidlaw <K.Laidlaw@roe.ac.uk>]

A few months ago I had a similar dilemma with A.nijsseni.  
I bought a beautifully coloured male and a bright yellow 
fish I thought was female. It did not have much black 
colouration but as it was so yellow I thought it must be 
female.  Once transferred to home it gradually became more 
male looking and in the end blue.  I'd say look for the 
obvious black blotches on the operculum etc for a sure fire 
female, not the ground colour alone.

Helen kindly located a female for me, now after about six 
spawnings and various water conditions still no fry, 
very frustrating.

Ken.
