I know these are larger cichlids but at what size/age do the males start showing color? I have one thats about 5 or 6 inches and is not showing colors and i'm thinking maybe its a female.
wow 2"?!?! i have a large male venustus and a large female venustus along with 2 that are about 3-4" but they are not showing color yet...i wonder if they are female also??
Yeah, I had some venustus fry growing out in a 10. The two largest ones were sporting blue faces and beating the others up, so I tossed them into a larger tank just a few days ago.
