    for those who wanted to see the Boraras micros… very small, not even 1 cm TL.

    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    Wah!!! I would love to shoot this little fella!!! Fins are in great condition.

    Full frame? or Cropped? I would suggest a darker background to highlight the soft rays of the fins better.

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    haha these are from Tapean Thong, excellent condition.

    fish is about 1cm long so occupies only half the 20d frame (22½mm). the length of the fish itself is about 1600 pixels. you know why the background is lighted right? my ST-E2 not working aperture was f8. will use higher when I reshoot since I am at minimum focusing distance already.

    here you can see the fins better, but the pix is actually OOF.

    You can definitely see the soft ray of the dorsal fin clearly. You can also see the fin burn on the top of the caudal fins too!

    Lighting and background makes such a difference.

    btw the two fishes are different, the first one is the best looking bugger with pristine fins.

    nice little fish, its a shame they've not got a good colouration, they would be overlooked in the tanks,. i would keep them though it's a fish for the enthusiast.

    very true mick. Nonn and I were laughing about it when we both scooped this fish from Kamphol's farm. This fish is only for the true connoisseur
