| My big male who I have noticed after he mated or around the same time has become a rich yellow on his head and body around the red spot on the head. The coloration looks good on him, just wondering. | |

| Mine is no albino, although I have noticed, that before spawning his colour takes a harsher tone. Has that anything to do with making an impression on the female? | |

| the colour of an albino is not set. They will vary their colour with variations in water parameters, diet, age, stress and sexual activity. I have had some go from almost white to almost pink and back again. Nothing to worry about | |

| My male is two different colours at the moment. Not quite sure what that means, but he's been getting a little cheesed off with one of the two females of late.
