    got a pair from TB Ben's. very bad condition, a quick pix until they heal up.

    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.

    Choy,

    You might want to consider a soft box since you shoot so many silvery subjects.

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

    becareful some material can catch fire when your flash triggers! I once put my flash head against my old tank, which has some kind of black surfacing on one of the glass (to shield the internal overflow), when the flash goes off some of those surfacing actually burnt and there was a huge ball of black smoke, I thought my 550EX exploded!

    choy , you say you have a pair is that 2 fish or a sexed pair? if the other fish has a convex anal fin then you have a pair to breed, but knowing you they won't be with you that long, just long enough to get some good pics. haha

    Mick, I'll have to go take a look. I managed to get pix of both specimens. One is apparently shorter than the other, have not check the shape of the anal fins. convex means female?
