Nice collection , would be nice to see whole set up

[sskruzr]

Sweet

[RudeDogg1]

Yeah it's a mare getting a decent pic I'm thinking of investing in a tripod lol. Yeah they are indeed stendkers

[3dees]

tripod will not be much use for moving fish. use a higher iso so you can use a higher shutter speed. the best way is to use an off camera flash above the tank. if your using a point & shoot then shoot from an angle so the flash does'nt reflect back into your lens.

oh , thats much better ! used tripod?

[RudeDogg1]

no i was to tight to buy 1 i took that the same time as the others

[Second Hand Pat]

Nice collection. Some of your discus are in focus and others out in the same picture. I do a fair amount of cropping and only keep the discus in focus. Pictures get better with practice and patient. A flash helps too when picture is at an angle to the glass.

Very nice and taking pictures of fish is all about patience. You might get 2 pics out of like 50 that come out good.

[RudeDogg1]

Great Job. Looks like they posed for you. Quality fish you have there. Thanks for sharing.

[Silver]

Very nice Discus .. the picture came out cool...

[RudeDogg1]

nice Cobalt

Thanks but none of them are cobalts lol

[scottthomas]

Thanks but none of them are cobalts lol

Really hard to tell a cobalt from what Stendker calls a brilliant. They are almost the same IMO. Some Cobalts have striations and some brilliants have very little striations.

[RudeDogg1]

Have a look on Stendkers website there is quite abit of difference his cobalts are nearly solid with just markings on The head an dorsal

[William Palumbo]

In my working with Stendkers, the blue ones are easiest to tell apart. IME Brilliants and Cobalts are two VERY distinct strains to tell apart. Sometimes the lines are blurred when figuring out a Red Scribblet and Red Turk...Bill

[Jennie]

always drawn to the spotted strains. love the snake

[vera]

one to the front looks classic Brilliant turq , with few lines in the middle part

[RudeDogg1]

Correct vera

[scottthomas]

Yes , I would have guessed that yours was a brilliant. (Actually one of my favorite strains.) Some Cobalts though have a lot of striations when juvies, I have had some.

[William Palumbo]

Flachens and Cobalts do have a lot of striations when younger...Bill
