Dont worry peter. I think it's their size.

Mine school even tighter during water changes cause they get sacred.

Sweet.

Can you tell male and female from the color? Seem like some had yellow belly and others did not. Or is it a determination of dominance. My most dom. namansi reef is get fire yellow in it's face when he displays.

Same as most trophs, like you say, the dominant males color up and the females and other males look about the same. The dominant M'toto males have this really crazy yellow "mask" that appears along with yellow on the belly and other places. Looks really cool.

Yeah, I've had some females holding, none to term.

Thanks guys!

Looking Good Peter.

Them boys getting big too.

Maybe you got to move out some fishes for them to breed. The WC fishes are few years old and should not have a problem holding to term.

I have notice, in the pass, when my tanks have too much fry the females cut back on breeding and don't hold full term.

Very nice fish,tank & scape!

[aggrofishkeeper]

Yup really loving the rock placement!

Peter,

I need to see these fish in person. When Mike had the huge colony of these fish, I dont ever remember any of them with yellow dorsals and bellies.

I hate to say just based upon looking at a youtube video, but there might be some mismatch in there.

I know EK had gotten a bunch of fry from some vendor on Trophs.com ands its real easy to mix up brichardi fry cause they are all orange and banded, unless you know what your doing.

Hopefully Mike will post, but seriously I dont remember seeing that. Its also 3am and Ive been drinking...lol... :)
