If you look at the last photo in the article, does the fish not show actually the same as you are describing (at least in terms of the iridiscent that you see), Stefanie ?[/quote]
Yes, Helene, that’s right. That’s what I mean.
I think this feature is worth being mentioned.
By the way: There’s something promising going on in my tank ……… Since the early morning my male showed the brightest display with continuous “sexy eyes”, while the female seemed much more interested and accommodating, and showing a more rounded belly.
Just half an hour ago I observed the male repeatedly fetching air from the surface and returning to a bambus cane lying on the ground, concealed with leaves. Then unexpectedly the female appeared out of the leaf litter and entered the bambus cane, followed by the male. And there they are ………
The female had changed her colouration, not into pale, but into a transparent golden bronze-brown without stripes.
