Just a few photos I have taken lately

It's been a while since I took fish photos. Here are a few recent ones though.

Are those the WC calvus you got in Finz? Or the ones you were growing out? They look awesome!

[finz]

Those are the ones I've been growing out.

Got any recent one's of your cyps?

[finz]

I don't. I separated the male because he was running the ladies ragged. I'm a bit reluctant to put them back together.

[cathyhill]

Wish I had that problem....

I lost my oldest male cyp recently and the other male just swims around with the ladies. No fry in about 4 months now.:(

I am at a loss. I do have a few males from my last spawn that are beginning to color a little but still too young to breed. I may just have to break down and buy another male to give my existing one a run for his money.

very nice...
what camera and lens are you using finz?

Nice helianthus! (Almost) makes me miss my (evil, nasty, took over a 40g) pair. He's got some great fins!

Thanks Jeto, I use a Canon 20D with a wireless flash controller. For these shots, I was using my 100-300mm telephoto and shooting from several feet away so I could catch the natural behavior of the fish. I was using two flashes, one on top of the tank pointing down and one on a tripod in front of the tank pointed at the fish from an angle.

thanks finz. I too uses the telephoto lens for shooting fishes. But have yet to buy another flash.

LOL, my helianthus pair has a 20 long all to themselves for that reason. Definitely not a "community" fish when they start breeding.
