Red lace cobra head changing colour?!
Hi all,
I'm very new to guppy and had recently purchased a pair of red lace cobra. Normally the males face/head is dull.. But today, his face turned black for awhile, back to normal and now it's black again..! However I observed that when it's black, he was always energetically chasing the female.. Is he ok??? Or is something wrong? |

Like any other males in the animal kingdom, the colours may be its way to attract the female so that he can get lucky.

I tried taking pictures but hes all over the place! Maybe I'll try again this evening. This morning his black head is gone again until i turn on the light.. Within minutes, head black again..
Do metal heads change color frequently? Isn't it a fixed trait? Thank you! |

Like what Cartoon has mentioned, perhaps your strain has the strong metal genes.
