    Default 3R from Kenny photoshoot

    They were behaving and sitting quite still tonight... here are a few shots. I feel like i need to improve my lighting to use my macro on them in future

    I welcome any critiques of the individual fish!

    Wow- the halo around the dorsal fin is certainly stunning!

    It's hard to capture in pics, but the large fish all have reflective blue in their transparent dorsal fins. I'll figure out some better lighting for later shoots, reflected sunlight maybe.

    I have a few of these as well. They are brilliant in person! So you won't have any breeding pairs as all are females.

    I LOVE that you did single strain 3Rs... please keep doing full tank pics as they get bigger. Reminds me of show tank pic with hardscape and brown-based reds that's been online for a long time and it's my favorite. It's a rimless tank that has one big log and some river rocks. No plants. Know which one I'm talking about?

    Yes. It was my inspiration as well. Did my own take on it as a peninsula tank needs a certain house to fit it right.
