Reply With QuoteWoo.. cool.. saw these in the gallery just now...
Some close ups...
Interesting to note that at a certain angle, there is actually a bright metallic green sheen.
The fish is not parallel to the lens, hence the tail is out of focus. But as a result of the angle, you get this amazing coloration!! But due to the silver bubble in the fish, you will also get partial hotspot around the rim. Technically still a challenge to resolve.

MPE-65?! No wonder can go so upclose and personal with this fish...
Welcome back!
Very interesrting fishes.
May i know where to get it ?
And also is it safe to keep it with cardina ?
Thanks
Update with another picture. Captured as the fish was turning. The iridescence was just starting to show.
This should be taken with the EF 180 mm f/3.5 USM macro L lens
Here's another parallel shot for comparison.
Taken with MP-E 65 mm f/2.8 1-5X Macrophoto lens.
Okay, I'm going to see if I can get them in a planted setup. Stay tuned.

Nice pics Benny. Can see everything clearly.
As to Ranma's question why nobody's interested in these fishes. The transparency just puts me off. Somehow I don't find transparent fishes nice to keep.

har??? i got ask this question meh??
Anyway.. its not how beautiful they are..its how much of a challenge they pose when taking photographs... buy some an try?
actually they don't live in habitats with plants, more like muddy and murky bottom.
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.

pass to me la..hahahah..
Common fishes. Can be purchased from common fish shops in Yishun, Tiong Bahru or Clementi. Mine was from C328 at Clementi Ave 2.
I assume you are talking about carinal tetras? If so, then there is no problem at all. These fishes are very small and will be pose as a problem. But being transparent, you may not see them very often.

My experience from keeping them is that they are quite 'fragile' fishes. RIP quite easily and they only take live food, baby brine shrimps, daphnia and tubifex worms.

Must say, been following this thread for a while, really good pictures of a really interesting fish.
I hope that this fish is kept by hobbyists for what it is, and dosn't turn into a "canvas" for "painting" like the glassfish..
Beautiful goby, really nice fish..something i've never seen before.

Currently keeping many wild betta species and other anabantoids.
don't worry Mez, its far too small to become another painted fish

Where is the locality of this fish? Looks like the fish I caught in the longkang when I was in Bintulu, Sarawak. I failed to keep them a live. Usually they disappear from my tank after a few weeks. I didnt manage to take any photo that time. Very hard to take.
