Ok, I admit, I am a LOUSY fish photographer...

One of my red red male cherries...

Can't get a good image of a female... So...

Uncle Choy, the wild cherry in the Pisces book that both of us have, very different and doesn't seem to match with HH's photos.

**hwchoy** · 18th Jan 2006, 00:05

I rather believe Pethiyagoda than the japs, HH's pix are from the Sri Lanka fish book. anyway my pisces book with Azmi leh.

**MrTree** · 18th Jan 2006, 02:57

No, the book just says it's a wild cherry. blueish one.

**hwchoy** · 18th Jan 2006, 03:28

think they oversaturated their pix.
