some new pics

Hi

here are some of the latest shots from the tank.....

Firstly the 'Dance of the Hongi'...these two males were spinning round each other so fast that it took several pics to get one that was anywhere near being in focus.

and finally...The Tropheops Yellow cheek..in spawning mode. Again difficult to get a decent photo of at the moment as he is whizzing round trying to impress the females. The photo does not really do the fish justice in his spawning dress..and he absolutley glows in the tank at the moment. Have one female red cheek holding at the moment.

Nice pics Squid! Really like the elongatus! The tropheops is sweet also. Not that I don't like the others! Those are just two I have never seen in my area.

Great, especially the saulosi and tropheops.

Cheers for your comments...unfortuantely my other 3 female tropheops turned on the female carrying and beat her up quite badly over the weekend. Obviously lost the eggs in the process and she is now recovering in hospital tank.
