Yes mine is a dark electric blue colour with longer fins and the two tassels
at the front. problem is that he is actually a short finned male. I found a
webpage a couple of days ago that confirmed it. What I think happened was,
while I was away one of my plants reached the surface creating a nesting
site and the short fin male then started to attack they other one. before
that the long finned male was chasing the shorter finned one every so often,
which he does with females, and displaying his fins to him. The short finned
male was also displaying his fins in response, but at the time I thought
that I had a more aggressive female who was just responding to him. sadly
they never fort while I was home.
