As you can see in the picture, my larger keyhole's fin, when he matured, developed a little flip in it. I had always assumed it was because he was a male, until it was posted on another thread that keyholes are almost impossible to sex without venting. :confused: So I looked at a lot of pictures on the internet and fancy fins were not apparent on any of the other "models". Now I'm wondering if my guy is just... special.
 
genetics is a funny thing, eh? sometimes mother nature just feels like having some fun. yes, i'd say your fish is 'just ... special'.
 
Well, that's interesting! It looks so natural I just assumed it was normal. I wish I could post a picture, because it really is very pretty. But for some reason he's terrified of the camera.
