It's a Boy!

I've been noticing this yellow/orange spot on the cheek of my melanurus wrasse, thinking that it might have a problem....something involving it's gills. I hadn't noticed this before. I also noted that when I was feeding the fish, the spot was not there.

So I started noodling around on the internet and found that the male melanurus has this yellow/orange (green) spot on it's cheek! I'm guessing since some times I don't see it, that he can turn it on and off.

I learn something new every day with this glass box filled with water.

It sounds the same, but at my age, that would be called an err!
