Sourcing for ideas on tank setup

[BT]

Simon, saw one checkerboard tat matches ur description of a female in the planted display tank but Gan wouldn't let me hv it!!! Nobody had reserved the female but he juz would not agree to me catching it. Anyway, I got 2 more from his tanks at the back, hoping at least one of them will be a female, although neither hv reddish ventral fins (keeping my fingers crossed). Will try to post pics later, so perhaps the experts here can help me identify.

Cheers.

bryan, we oso saw that 'female' checkerboard in the 6ft... I told gan not to sell any fish in that tank too

Hi, these are pics of the 2 checkerboards I bought today, hope that at least I of them is a female. If not, then gotta try to 'stun' the piece in the display tank. hehehehe....

Female Checkerboard Candidate No.1


Female Checkerboard Candidate No.2


Any takers on placing a bet on which is a female??

Cheers.

sorry, cant see anything.. pic too yellowish and ventral fins not visible

[BT]

spent quite a bit of time trying to take good, clear pics but perhaps still not good enough. the water is a bit yellowish-brown due to the blackwater essence I added. and for both fishes, the ventral fins are not orange/red. my fingers are crossed....

Cheers.
