Glad to hear you're better, Mervi !
This question may have already been asked somewhere but could Patience simply be a protoandrous hermaphrodite like a barramundi (all or most barramundi begin as males but then after a certain age/stage become female, as far as I'm aware)? *looking around for maulkin to dispute this claim!* (and how very unAustralian of me if it proves to be incorrect!)
Ah, I've just read 'Angel' fish (missed that the first time!) so my logic for barramundi doesn't apply...ignore me !
