SRC Member arcanehacker Posted June 2, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted June 2, 2006 Not sure if anyone experienced it but I have 2 blue eyes anthias and both of them are developing blackish tail tips. Bottom fins are also darker. Quote Why do we use "My 2 cents worth" when 1 cents are not legal tender in Singapore anymore? Shouldn't it be 5 cents worth?

SRC Member zephyros Posted June 2, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted June 2, 2006 its ok for their tip to turn black. what u need to take note of is the length of the 2nd (i think) dorsal fin. If the length is getting longer and longer, then there is a chance that it might ###### change to a male blue eye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dun see the dorsal fin getting longer though.. but I thought the blackish tip and darker bottom fins make them look nicer.. back to the topic.. blue eyes males are totally different. Sure can tell the diff. Quote Why do we use "My 2 cents worth" when 1 cents are not legal tender in Singapore anymore? Shouldn't it be 5 cents worth?

SRC Member LinkinPark Posted June 17, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted June 17, 2006 The former king of blue eye in my tank. I bought 2 male anthias from ML some months back. This was the dominant and the other "submissive" male has slowly lost its colour to that similar to the female, but it still has its long dorsal fin and colour pelvic fin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member LinkinPark Posted June 17, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted June 17, 2006 The yellow wrasse seem to be playing referee. Now that the Alpha male has lost the fight, its colour would fade over time to be like the one in the centre, and become the new eunuch. The other male (or the new champion) colour has been slowly intensified and would be like the colour of the defeated male.
