Gorgeous fish you have there, super nice. So what camera did you end up getting?

Thanks Eddie,

I originally got the Nikon D60. Kept it for 2 days and then decided to step up to the D90. My kids have a few end of school year activies so I figure I'll make use of the video feature.

I am still trying to learn all the features in these DSLR camera. The last time I use SLR was in high school when I had a few Minolta SRT camera

BTW.. yes these tanks are overstocked by the standard 10gal/fish rule but they get daily 80% WC

Oh no Van, don't worry...all my tanks are overstocked. It's all in the WCs as I can see you know all about. ;)

Those are some great photos so you must be learning fast. ;)

Thanks but I am told by my friend that I am not doing justice for the camera with those pics. He recommended a different lense for taking pictures of the tanks. The lens that came with the camera isn't fast enough for picture down the basement.

Here are a few better pictures of some non-fish photo.

Ah, cute kids!

I think you are doing well with the camera.

Thanks Francis. Those are 75 gallons tank. I am hoping to get something big one day (300 gallon acrylic would be nice) and put most of my discus in there.

[stanlee]

Incredible discus and cute kids. Enjoy the new camera.

BTW it's impossible not to overstock a discus tank, you just gotta have one more.:D

What's that big guy on the last 3 pics of your second post? Fineline snakeskin? Beautiful! :)

[DiscusOnly]

The 2 big guys (almost 100% that they are both male) in the tank with mostly reg pigeon were Kenny's 8" giant snake skin from last August shipment. Actually most of the discus in the 2 tanks are from Kenny (albino golden were 2.5" last June). The 2 RGD are also from Kenny. Red Marboro pigeon were Dan's home bred.

Holy! I thought I overstocked, thats dang good. 14 in a 75 gallon, woohoo, that has got to be a chore and your tank looks super clean too. Great work there Van.

Beautiful snake skins! They look huge compared to the other fish! I thought I was getting tired of spotted/striated strains, then I saw those!

Oh and post bigger pics on photobucket or something similar. Your new shiny camera is begging for this!!

Great looking tank shots....I was going to get one of those DSLR cameras but I can't even figure out how to use the one that I have...:confused:

LOL, yeah Dan...thats why I just get the point and shoot type cameras. Even those type have too much going on for me to understand.

Dan,

Point and Shoot does a very good job already and still my prefer choice when the kids go to the park.

Here are a few more pics of my mostly turq tank. The stock aquarium lighting really bring out the color in the blue tank. Also is a pic of my only non-discus. He got a bad case of heater burn so he is in the hospital tank.

Thanks Eddie. I don't feed home made food so I guess it's much easier to keep it clean. I've been meaning to try your sea food mix recipe but I can't get myself around to getting the seafood. I hate touching fish or shrimp because I don't eat them (kinda ironic isn't it?)

LOL, yes that is ironic. I don't mind touching, its the eating part for me. I hate the taste of fish. :(
