Sounds like they are just reaching sexual maturity.  The iridescence you
describe is common in adults.

Subject: [GSAS-Member] Norman's lampeye killifish

Hi all,
I am looking for someone with knowledge of Norman's lampeyes.  I have a
couple that I bought accidentally (they were mis-identified at the store).
 They've been doing well in my shrimp tank, but today I noticed something
strange: one of them has had an odd change with its eyes.  The black pupil
part has become smaller, and the eyes are now rimmed with gold.  They still
have the blue highlight on the tops of the eyes.  This fish also has
developed some blue iridescence on the end of its tail.  It is swimming and
eating normally.  The other fish shows no sign of these changes.  I am
pretty much a total newb at this (first tank since my childhood was started
last January) and haven't uncovered much information on these fish.  Anyone
have any ideas what's going on?  Should I be worried?

Thanks in advance for any info...
Meg
