[wolfbane]

This is amazing photography! So kewl to see the series, from newly laid eggs to attached fry! Thanks so much for sharing. :D

[David_Hui]

Amazing, how did you take these pictures?

[KD]

Awesome!!!!
More pictures please!!!

[YellowClaw]

Hello everyone,
The secret to taking these pictures is to sit really close to the aquarium and wait until the fish strikes a pose. Actually, I had to play with my zoom, light, and focus settings before I was able to take these pictures. I’m glad everyone liked them. I will post more pictures later.

[tag]

Wow, this pics are so great. I've seen eggs and seen the fry but never in this kind of series. Good job!! Be nice to see the pics continue ;) .

Thanks for taking the time to post them.

Tin, those are spectacular pictures. Wish you the very best on your babies. Are those the ones you got from Brian?

[YellowClaw]

Susan,

Glad to see that you are still here. Yes, these are the pair that I got from Brian. I can't seem to keep the fries longer than 11 days. I've tried removing the female, but it seems like they are still being eaten after 10 days. I came home to another batch of new eggs yesterday, so the cycle goes again. This time I'm thinking of leaving the mom in there. I'll have the camera ready for day 11 with luck. Hope your move went well.

[susankay1]

Thanks Tin, we are coming along, slowly but surely. Your fish look wonderful. Keep up the good work. We will be in Brandon in September, would love to visit you and your fish then, if it works for you. Susan

Dude, that pic in post 10 is unreal. You have to have a bionic super camera to be getting shots like that. Outstanding!

[Mattzilla]

Very nice pictures, Tin.

Are those fungus growing with the fry on Day 3 and 4?

[Aaron84]

man those are very cool pics

[YellowClaw]

Thank you for the nice comments everyone. Yes, that is fungus growing from the unhatched eggs.

[susankay1]

How about an update Tin, cant wait to see how those little fellers turn out. Also, what kind of camera are you using?

[YellowClaw]

Hey Susan,

We’ve been quite busy lately. We are currently searching for a new home and that has taken a lot of our time. As for the discus, they love to spawn and then eat their babies. Don't know what else to say about them. They are cute, but are not that well behaved. They are so spoiled, always waiting for me to do things for them.

[wild_heckel]

Tin, amazinggggggggggggg pictures. Right up there with some of the National Geographic pictures. Did you use additional lenses like macro zoom lens etc. I have an old Canon powershot A40 good camera but bad photographer.

[Le Imports]

Very nice, loving the closeup shots.

[discus4life]

what camera you using? in the market for a camera

[YellowClaw]

To answer some of your questions, Canon S400 PowerShot is the camera that I'm using, no extra lenses. There are better cameras then this one in the market right now and I wished I had one of them.

Just some updates, days 11 - 20 will be posted soon, hope you guys will like them.

[disvegas]

Amazing photos. It looks like you are a trained photographer because I would never get the same kind of results as you did with the pictures. Thank you for sharing with us. Pls keep up the good work and post more if you could.

Disvegas,

[Sue50]

Those are the most amazing photographs I have ever seen. Thank you soooooooo much for posting them. I had the same camera until this June when I lost it at Victoria Gardens in V.C. B.C. at Victoria Gardens.:( But I didn't ever get pictures like that in the 2 years prior to losing it!! Great job!!
