thanks for that. i never thought of that i suppose. not only is it hard to ID fish but now i have to throw in those factors lol. is the last one a female? i thought her fatness was pregnancy at first. can you show me which are males and which are females?They are all bandeds. I think what you are noticing is differences between the coloration of the sexes and the coloration of a breeding fish vs. a non-breeding fish.

Nice, I hope they do well, last time I photographed my bandeds one died. it went white after I took the picture and later died.
How come bandeds always look striped in silver with dark bands in photos, but in real tanks they verry from brownish with dark stripes to black and white for breeding males. Why don't cameras show them as the eye sees them?
