Cool, the honeys were always the same color until recently, one got brighter and the other got duller, although their behavior is the same as always It'd be cool if I got them to breed, these guys are special to me, mostly because they survived camalanus nematodes!sylvia said:Wonderful fish! Those ctenopomas are amazing! I think you do have a honey pair BTW - the female deffinately looks right - silvery brown. The male's rather yellow though Provided they haven't had a color change recently towards being paler, you don't have anything to worry about.
