Anthias Transformation : Female to Male
I have been watching this fish from October 15th when she showed me some weird signs in swimming, so I decided to click some pictures and videos. It was really amazing watching her changing sex. I believe it is still not completely converted in to male, did some research online and male get more dark color.
All fishes in my tank are well over a month and they all eat pallets and frozen.
Here are the few pictures with Dates:
Sorry for the bad pictures. I do have some video's which i'll post it later.
