I returned a dwarf gourami today because he was being very aggressive towards my tetras and exchanged him for another one. The new guy is wonderful and working out great, but there's just something weird about his color. Normal dwarfs are blue with red stripes, but this guy is a brownish-bronze with red stripes. If I take a pic with the flash then he come's out blueish but just normally he's dull looking. I've read that they turn this color when they're wanting to breed...and I have observed him trying to make a bubble nest already and pulling some of the moss off to make it. Is this normal, and will he go back to being a bright blue and red? Thanks!
Sorry the pics aren't the best. He isn't a flame dwarf,...they are actually stripes, not just solid red.
Here he is with flash
Here he is without flash
He could possibly be a female too, but he's so aggressive! My powder blue dwarf (for sure male) used to be the aggressive one but now he's being pushed around like a sissy girl.
Here is the guy I returned. See how much bluer he is?
