About 6 months ago I bough a 3 inch Parachromis loisellei in tank with mixed cichlids, misslabled as a Salvini. I thought it was a Montogense myself and after some research I found out it wasn't that either. Within the last month this fish, now 6 inches, has gone through a huge transfer in color form dull earth tones to bright yellows, golds and blues. I would really like to find a mate for this fish which I believe to be a female. If I figure out how to upload photos correctly, I want to know if anyone familar with this species thinks it looks like a female too. Thanks!

Lol, I was just looking over my old threads. This was my first one on AquariaCentral. I can't believe no one on here was able to answer this. Slackers!





Oh and by the way, it's a girl! :D
 
FWIW, looks male to me... Better late than never! ;)

Well those are old pics, here is a more recent pic of her with her adult coloring.
