That’s awesome! I didn’t think they actually ate cyano. How long did that take?

Nice. Does anyone know if the yellow ringed spot on the top fin is a dimorphic trait? My Biota court jester doesn't have one. I wish it did. In fact, none of the Biota ones I've seen do.

Hmm, I think I need a better shot of my Biota Court Jester but I'm guessing it's there...will try tomorrow when the lights are up

It's looks like yours has it. Perhaps mine is female. Like I said though, I've seen alot of Biota jesters and none had it. Including pics. of known Biotas. Weird.

He kept eating in the tank every day. The red slime algae gradually decreased at a speed visible to the eyes, and almost all disappeared in about one to two weeks.

I originally thought that a black ocellus spot on the dorsal fin is a unique feature, but I didn’t expect some individuals to have no such feature.

Will it be the individual differences between male and female?
