Discussion

• Males are assumed not to differ from females, see F2
• Temperature varies from 8 to 25 C, mean is guessed

Facts

• length-weight: W in g = 0.00065*(TL in cm)^3.08 (Ref: fishbase)
• All individuals are born as females, some later convert to males (Ref: Wiki)
• Males build a free floating bubble nest among vegetation and guards till independence (Ref: ADW)
