Dorsal streamer

So simple question. Just notice my favorite con pair that the females dorsal fin resembles a males with a really long streamer type effect going wasn't like that when she was younger but as she has gotten older its become more pronounced.

Anyone know why? What's the purpose of a long elaborate dorsal fin?(specifically in a female) [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG]
Second pic not eggs just kens pellets lol she moves them around then eats them later...again weird individuals that's why I love them


Can't get a good pic she's guarding eggs at the moment. Hopefully the male doesn't try to spawn at the other end if the tank forcing her to abandon this clutch...they are weird (I can usually get fry if I remove the eggs but they breed like bunnies anyways so I don't bother)

I don't know the function of the trailers (other than they look really nice to us aquarium keepers), but I have had several convict females that had just as "nice" finage as males.

It's really awesome looking just thought it might be related to something like health, etc maybe just to get the males attention
