They are black when juvenile, and blue when adult. I have no idea why mine changed back to black?

I am planning on getting a juvenile so he can turn blue later. I hope he's not sick or anything...

i read ( i think at the local aquarium) that they change --- when they change color but i have no idea if thats true, i could have dreamed it but i think i heard it somewhere idk

Yes, they are male when they are blue and when they get older they turn yellow, which is female.

 

[babyb]

so as a juvie they are blackish, male=blue female=yellow

 

[prevwon]

Yes, sorry I forgot about the juvies, they are black.
