It's most likely just signalling that it is a male that is old enough to spawn. There are lots of animals in the animal kingdom that show visual outward signs of reproductive readiness as they grow older. You also have to remember that most fish that you find in the aquarium industry are VERY young, and most aren't sexually active yet.
