I've had a pair of gold severums for over a year. They've spawned twice, the male is about 6" long and the female about 4.5". The male has great coloration, and overall is a really good looking fish. The female on the other hand is usually much paler color, with dark markings on her sides. They look almost like bruises, small dark areas on the skin. Other than the coloration, she acts fairly normal. They get along well, and are both very territorial about the whole tank (toward hands, nets, etc, not each other). Is this something should try to diagnose and treat, or is it just a weird coloration thing?
