BLUE EYE ANTHIAS

[lyz77]

How can I differentiate between a male & female BLUE EYE ANTHIAS? I tried searching the web but not very clear. Please advise and best if there's pics attach!

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.

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

hmm.. 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.

1 of my female blue-I might ###### change soon ... depends

whether the current alpha male can suppress her transformation a not

How many you have? .. I have 2.. maybe both of them are deciding which to morph . One got bigger much faster though..

Blue eye are beautiful fishes but they tend to get too fisty with their other tank mates at time!

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

The Eunuch has secretly been eating alot and has become strong & defeat the defending champion

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.
