Make Auratus Holding?

[Com3backKid]

So hey guys! I have a Auratus that appears to be holding... is it really a female? Or.....?

Looks like it holding. Female auratus have been known to take male colors during this time.

Female auratus can develope male coloration, especially if, but not exclusive to, there are no dominant males present. it's well documented.

I took her out and put her in her own tank and now she’s a females colors. Dirty trickster. It’s my fault tho. She has no egg spots and her body stripes weren’t identical to a males.
