hi just a question about female grammodes - mine has been turning really dark lately, and it's not because she is sick. if anything she is actually becoming more aggressive. she currently lives in my 100 gallon with some clown loaches and a 6 inch male argentea. the female grammodes is around 3-3.5" TL. my large male grammodes is in there too but on the other side of a divider. the female grammodes used to get chased whenever the argentea came out for a swim. but lately i notice she's been defending a small area behind some driftwood and is flaring back at the argentea.
i'm wondering if the darker colors mean anything? the pectoral fins are now constantly black, and essentially she is a dark fish except for the ends of her dorsal and her tail which are normal colored.
is this a sign of dominance, breeding etc?
