Reading some about my Venustus, I know that juvenile males and females share the same coloration, and when the males mature, they get the blue face coloration...
My Venustus is getting to about 3", and I've started to notice a definite blue hue/shimmer to the back 1/3 or so of its dorsal fin... Is this an indicator that it's starting to color as male? It's the largest fish in my tank at the moment, and sold as male, but still showing female/juvenile colors. When do they normally start showing the adult coloration?
