Hi everyone,

Just thought I'd share some of the fishy pics we took over the weekend.

I borrowed a camera from work (Nikon D80) and was experimenting with the settings a bit. Went a bit overboard and took hundreds of shots, but as expected only a fraction of them turned out as well as I wanted. Following is a selection of them.

Firstly the 180 gallon community tank:

Next to the 50 gallon Peacock cichlid tank:

(Yes I know there are water marks all over the inside of the tank - any suggestions to remove these without stripping the tank down are welcome, vinegar when we were setting the tank up did not work)

Now on to some of the inhabitants...

From the 180 Gallon:

Angelfish
Male Angel
Female Angel
This pair recently spawned for the first time, unfortunately I didn't have the camera handy, and the eggs disappeared pretty quickly.

From the 50gallon:

Marbled Male
Blue/Yellow male
Blue/Black male
Tangerine female
Plain/steel female

And a few from the other random tanks around the house:

Snail (we call this one Dumbo... those antennae remind me of big floppy elephant ears)

Acara Fry tank
Find the fry (blue acara)

Gourami Fry tank
Sparkling Gourami Fry

10 gallon Ninja Shrimp tank

Enjoy

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

Thanks troppo! You got some great shots there! The green in your vals show up so much better in this new shot of the 180 gallon tank. I vote you change it with the old shot that is in your signature.

Very nice Troppo!
