Re: KillieTalk Digest V2 #279



Hi Ronald.  Since I have not bred very many killies I can't say if this is
common or not.  But, I did have a pair of Aphyosemion sp. Etz where the male
did something similar.  He lost all of his normal coloration, becoming like
an orange australe--after about 6 or 8 weeks, he slowly darkened again to
normal color.  This did not happen to the female, or to chocolate australes
in the same water and diet.  BTW, A. sp Etz is a beautiful fish-after I move
back to Oregon and get settled I hope to find some again.
