The first photo was a full size then the Khuli decided to move closer to the glass. I actually had the lens touching the glass. They had been in the tank for less than one hour when I took these photos. I was informed I might never see themm again after I introduced them. In fact one is eating a food bit from this mornings feeding. The food bit is about 1mm in size. That is the reason I bought them to do a substrate clean up.

Second that real super macro.
This would be the closest photo I have ever taken of a fish.

Wow Keith, they are both amazing photos. How do you take pics that good? You must have a whiz bang camera. My pics always look a blur! :%)

BTW, he's a real beauty!

... I've just seen the photography articles on the top of this forum so I think I might print them out do some homework!

The camera is a Nikon 4500 designed for Macro work.

It has a Macro setting little tulip and I have a steady hand.

I am seriously thinking of getting both enlarged professionally at a Melbourne Camera store

Amazing pictures Keith. Makes me want to go and invest in a Nikon. It's worth all that money. Please do go and get those enlarged, they will make wonderful pictures when printed.

Fantastic My favorite fish

I honestly don't understand when people say they never see their kuhlis, mine are always so active :%)

Considering they had just been introduced into the tank they were not shy at all. At the first feeding (next day) two of the three were all over the tank.

I have many small stones on edge and they are just weaving in and around them all the time.

Sitting still was no problem I just told them to stay and they did.

Actually I had been watching them and they seem to follow a pattern, they wiggle up to a spot then stop for a few seconds. In fact one stayed for about 15 seconds as the camera did a 10second count down. Since I started typing this and I am a one finger expert the KL has not moved. I kept watching and he stayed still for another two more minutes.
