Põhimõtteliselt on siin piltidel näidatud kalad üks ja seesama. Need Pseudotropheus (kasutatakse ka Maylandia) estherae'd on nö. ristipaarituvad (crossbreeding) ja seega igasugu värvikombinatsioone võib ette tulla. Hea näide kasvõi Google pildigalerii
Isegi emastel ja isastel vahettegemisel on erinevaid variante
:
Sexing/Breeding: they all have the same orange color. Sub-adult males, however, start to show a shade of light blue on the anal fin. At about 2.25 inches males will start to put on a light blue shade all over their body and fins, and thus become somewhat unworthy of their name. The females just put on a brighter orange color as they mature. Both males and females have "egg spots". Those on the males are white-beige while those on the females are just dark orange.
Minul osutus see variant töötavaks.
Heix'il jällegi töötas see järgnev variant:
Sexing/Breeding: The males are always blue and the females always yellow (orange). http://www.thetropicaltank.co.uk/Fishindx/estherae.htm
