How about a full body of the fish?

Yeah the vent looks oval. Full shot would be good. How big was the male you tried to pair up?

 

[ptownmonsterfish]

The male is just a bit bigger then the female. A friend of mine gave me the female yesterday to see if she would show signs of laying eggs or wanting to breed. My male is fertile but I think its going to be impossible to hook these two up.
