Dave, I am uncertain what sex they are as they do show some blue coloration, but they are adults. I tried to look at Kevin's to determine what sex they are and His are about the same coloration and he has no idea what sex his are either. One of them is larger then the others and displays a more dominant behavior and usually chasses one of the two arround a little but I know that is not a clear indication of anything. They are just too large for my Tank and I feel bad not housing them in something bigger. If you want I live in Federal Way. I work in Seattle and my Fish are in Seattle in my Work tank. Any room for the Mel. Auratus? he is an adult, very active and usually gets along (for an Mel. Auratus) with my other fish. The Female died. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sanford, Dave LHS-STAFF" <Sanfordd@issaquah.wednet.edu> To: <gsas-member@thekrib.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2001 6:57 AM Subject: RE: Aristochromis Christyi > Paul, what sex are the A. christyi?
