    Very well done image. Gregory (GHO) would be interested to see this. He is our resident tank photographer and now we have you as well. Good job.

    Aquarium shots - full tank shots or fish shots ?

    This was one of my 10G tanks (I have a fishroom :lol: ) with normal shop light used for focus and SB-800 with Omni Bounce from above positioned toward the back.

    Great shot Jay. I hope that this is not one of the species that eat their young.... :? Could get real ugly. :( 

    Regards,

    They do not eat young, at least this pair didn't. Unfortunately female was extremely aggressive toward male and I had to separate them. Go figure :lol:
