My Rams have mis identified my Riccia as watercress or something and are dining out on it. Caught this one in the act]:|

Then the Croaking Gourami decides to flare at the Ram to scare him away, he fancies some salad too

While I was at it I got one of the Praecox Rainbows in full color - just finished his bloodworms - probably looking for some salad now

"I know I saw some tasty salad around here somewhere, maybe it's up here ?"

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT?
VOTE NOW VOTE NOW

I got lucky. Saw the Ram attacking the Riccia and got the camera. Everyone else just started posing Maybe because they'd just stuffed themselves with bloodworms and were feeling lazy.

The camera is nothing special Robby. Just a Casio, run of the mill.
Choose the macro setting (the tulip).
Never use the flash, only tank lights. Flash gives a startled unnatural look.
Set the white balance for Flourescent.
Highest quality settings on camera.
Fastest speed to avoid blur. This can be achieved by increasing the ISO setting, the higher the ISO the faster the shutter speed, but try not to go too high on the ISO, more ISO more grain.
Try to have the camers set and focused on the area you want to shoot (half press the button) and wait for a fish to come into that area.
Takes a bit of patience and a lot of shots dumped, but you get the occassional keeper.

After that when the pic is uploaded crop the picture to frame the fish.
