my a. elizabeth

[anewbie]

These are the three fishes I purchased as a. elizabeth. The goal was 1m 1f so it was 1m and 2 potential females. I believe I have 1m and 2 females. I've had them for just short of 3 weeks. The first week only the male was out; the 2nd week i would occasionally see one of the female and starting late last week all three are always visible when i look.

male:

female 1:
(this is the more passive female):

This is female 2 the more aggressive one - at first i was thinking it might be a male but after looking at the pictures i'm back to thinking it is a female:

It is a bit fuller body than the other 'female' and it has a 'black dot' left of the eye below the lateral line. The other female is distinctly more yellow. As far as i can tell they look like any other elizabeth i've seen pictures of though i suppose they will get larger over time.

Do you recall the name of the Bucephalandra in the background? Sorry, I'm amidst a discussion on those on another forum this very moment and now I'm curious.

One of them is a version of b kedang (i had ordered two different version) - this is the fine plant since in picture f2. It arrived in very bad shape but the rhizome was alive and it has started to regrow.

either kedang classic 87 or kedang 615

Kedagang Classic 87 - Borneo Aquatic

Bucephalandra is Aquatic Plants which only grow in isolated regions and can be only found in Borneo Island, Indonesia. The photo is representative, plant is healthy and in the good condition. It is sold per clump.

Thank you!

The two supposed fenales show a distinct gap between lateral band and caudal spot. I haven't seen this in any elizabethae so far. Imo they are likely a different species.

Actually is the male elizabeth? Looking at tom's picture of the male the tail look distinctly different but it is hard to tell because in neither my picture nor tom's the tail is not fully extended.
