	First Betta Photos
keithgh Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003	This was not the best way to take a macro photo from the top. He was about 4ins down at the base of his net container. He will be in this until I get his home fully set up. At least he is getting used to seeing others, also he seems to be very tame I could say within a few weeks he will be eating out of my fingers. The brown dots are a shrimp pellet. I will post some intersting photos in PB about this food Keith keithgh attached this image: Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

keithgh Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003	fishyhelper288 Thank you for the tips but I do not want to pull him around too much. I am very supprised even know how quickly he has settled in. Besides there is no way could I hold a net up close and take a photo at the same time, and if he got out byby Betta.

keithgh Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003	Theresa_M He is darker on his back but he is more of a brighter dark blue and red. He had a lot more red when I bought him. Apprently the colours can change due to the water and food also their general health stress etc. Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

houston Fish Guru You want what when? Posts: 2623 Kudos: 2462 Votes: 337 Registered: 29-Mar-2003	That picture gives us a good idea of what he does look like thoughespecially since you say he is more of a dark blue, why they turn that funky shade when photographed I've yet to figure out:%) Can't wait till he's in his new home... And Keith, I was just about to hand feed my betta boys last night, but they wanted it literallyhand for food heidi "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom." Thomas Carlyle

fry Enthusiast Posts: 243 Kudos: 195 Votes: 3 Registered: 27-Jul-2004	there are two reasons i can think of: 1. the film is not color adjusted well for this kind of blue 2. the direct lighting changes the color. what are you planning for his new home?

keithgh Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003	Fry I can assure you it was not the direct overhead lighting, the light was on the side if not I could not have taken the photo. I use Photo Shop no problems there. The tank will be very heavly planted with a good water movement (I said good) not too strong as I can adjust the water flow rate.

fry Enthusiast Posts: 243 Kudos: 195 Votes: 3 Registered: 27-Jul-2004	the shadow is downwards. how did you get enough light for taking the shot? i merely suggested that stronger white light needed for photographing tanks might change the subjective color of the fish compared to just looking at it through the glass.

Posts: 2623 Kudos: 2462 Votes: 337 Registered: 29-Mar-2003	I really just think it is this shade of betta, as most of use that try and photograph this shade, end up with the odd color that isn't true...It's just one of those things Can't wait to see the pics of his new home...I was energetic this morning and took some pics of my bettas with the camera phone...gonna have to play with them to make them decent then I'll post... Glad he's doing good, heidi "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom." Thomas Carlyle
