L. Caeruleus Questions

[HypeMan808]

I was searching the web and came across this pic. Now I have a question.

Does anyone have a female that looks like a 100% male like this before?(ie. Black stripe dorsal fin, pectoral fin, ventral fin, and black stripe in eye)

Are they pretty common?

I am just curious because I bought 5 L. Caeruleus a while back and they are now 3". They all looked to be male so I vented them and 3 of them looked to be females... I don't see shaking or any breeding signs going on ever. I'm really confused to what I got now..

can you put pictures of other fish to see
females usually all the same like males but not so colored

Females look like the males. Sometimes, a bit more drab. The only way to tell them apart is to vent them like you did.
