EowynJane Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 I've heard this can happen but I've never seen it before... (s)he's quite shy but still gets chased by the boys. Really gave me a start when I first saw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvision Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 It's pretty common for old female livebearers to take on male characteristics, but she will never "father" any kids. Nice looking fish! :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elezra Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Does anything change anatomically or just characteristics/personality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckmullin Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Reminds me of the German female athletes at the Olympics a number of years back. Cannot tell if they want to be a girl or guy. Best of both I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperGuppyGirl Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Anyone know if this is true for killifish? I have 2 that originally thought were male due to colouring but they are filling with eggs. Colouring is not as intense as the males but Definately not as bland as the females.

EowynJane Posted October 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) She's pretty shy so I don't see her much. But when I do I notice she is still chased by the boys in the tank. She keeps her bottom fin closed so I've never been able to really tell if there have been any actual changes there... I've been keeping Endlers for years and this is the first time this has happened!
