stunning mate looking great....

Just a tip for you mate......
before taking pics make sure you clean any water marks off the front of your glass as decent camera's pic them up easily.......i mean if you take a look at pic 4 which is by far the best the water marks are a real eye cather and when you get a great shot like that J you dont want the water to ruin it lol...buy a non smear cloth or rag...works a treat......

Also try taking shots with flash and without and with the lights on and off..

I always use flash with no light's on in the tank and just a lamp on in the house that seems to work best but still the best pics you have taken mate well done..

for the tips Curby, especially the clean glass bit -
I do clean the glass every photo shoot, depending on how clean I get it is another matter

great pics mate even the water marks look good LOL

Thanx for pointing that out deano, and the compliments of course

I should have called "JB" the clockwork bristlie.
I put the cave back in the tank after about a four week period and in about 5 minutes he was on it - maybe he does recognize the colour of the cave.




I'm pretty sure it only took 3-4 days and walla a bunch of eggs- to hard to get pix of that in the D cave.

Is that a Glowlight Tetra I spy there? I swear, they have a fascination with cameras, mine always come flocking over when they see the camera looming

Great pics and great plecs!

Yup , it 's a Glo-light tetra, great looking little fish that only cost a couple of bucks to buy, so I grabbed another 6 the other day just to get the school numbers up, now have 10 of em and look much better as a decent sized school.

Definatly Just watch out for fin nipping, they can get a bit narky with each other at times! I had to split my original group of 11 up, as certain ones were chomping on the others fins. Since the split, they've all grown back, bigger than ever

I can't say I have to much trouble with in "family" fighting , all my fish are on tender hooks watching out for the Yo-Yo loaches- the loaches don't cause any damage, they just like to be a pain in the donkey to the other fish, maybe it's a little game of theirs.

Ah, thats good to hear Well, not about the marauder yo-yo loaches, but the family love xD
I dunno if your have or not yet, but they get the most gorgeous white colouration on their fins, where the red streaks stop, especially on the males. I love it

A ha kool , I was thinking that little fishes were the males until I started to notice the white highlight on the pectoral fins-- assumption confirmed
