THis Red Snakeskin came from Oscar.. the picture doesn't do the color any justice at all... How do I get more I have a hard time capturing color in this tank for some reason....

This fish is the hardiest of all. His shape isn't great but no problem with parasites, pH, eating .... No problems at all!

Heya Bikhu,

Thanks for the pics. I'm guessing you at least have a decent camera, since the pics came out pretty well, I reckon.

If I could make a suggestion (and a somewhat contentious one, at that): I would try losing the flash, and sticking some regular aquarium light over the tank. Flashes are really good at washing out the colours from your fish. Ideally you want nice, even lighting, and not from your camera.

Stick a few regular reflectors over your tanks, kill the flash, and see how your pics look. You'll also lose the reflection off the glass ;)

BTW I like your hardyfish. Does he swim, or at least float, gracefully? :-)

Cheers!
John

Cheers!

Thanks John.. I will give that a try.
As for the Hardy fish... He just sits around adorning my fish room... Is there anything more graceful than stillness? :)

Hi Peter:
Your fish look very nice - big, healthy and well cared for. Your tanks are spotless too ;D

:o :o :o Sooooo nice Peter!!!! Fish are super pretty, & you are doing great with your new toy, keep it up! Love the WGxBD, & the red snake reminds me of my big male that drove me crazy for awhile trying to breed every thing in sight!! Oh, & I agree with John, when I did get fish pics, I used tank lights from above, no flash, & colors seemed more true, but I'm no photographer, so, anyway, you're doing much better than I, I'm still trying to get my pics together for my bio, & I can't get my scanner to work with my new pc, lol, that's how it goes, gotta get someone to send'm to me in an email so I can put'm in the thread, lol, Dottie ;D ;D
