[Quixotic]

Fish 2: Hemigrammus pulcher?

How come the body of fish 2 (first picture) like crooked?

[blackBRUSHalgae]

Any idea of this common fish #3?

[ranmasatome]

Actually thats the way they all were..dont know what the hell happened to them..just got the best few home to shoot..

Eh.. how come the quality degraded ah?? the original much better leh..

From RAW to JPEG? Lossy compression. So need to sharpen the picture.

Any idea of this common fish #3?

Not too sure if this is common though, many of them look alike, with a blotch on the caudal and difficult to ID. Was tempted to say H. rodwayi but the eye rim isn't quite the same.

[ranmasatome]

actually the last fish doesn't have blotch on tail.. its kind of a blotch with a little black line down the body...
Too bad these fishes haven't coloured up yet..so maybe its harder.. looks kind of like something i found in biotope about a year back (which is still alive by the way)...i'll post a photo of that..

Fish 2 is interesting. wait for the fish to colour up again and shoot leh.
Red colouration on the anal tail and dorsal, with black blotches.

[ranmasatome]

Actually i reshot them today already..but realised later that the pics were grainy because it was set to ISO400 and i didn't know...ergh.. tomorrow shoot again.. at least give them more time to colour.

These are the ones that i mentioned in another thread that there are readily available in the canal below my flat!!

[ranmasatome]

Ohh... this one ah.... (although i don't really know which one you are referring to, since there are 3 here).

Don't get overly excited lah. 100% sure they are the same? As mentioned, there are lots of tetras that look alike, so call me skeptical if you will... hahaha...

Unless there is a good clear picture to compare...

[David Moses Heng]

my camera cannot make it leh... Sigh...

[Quixotic]

See any one here wants to borrow your fish for photo shoot or not lor.

[David Moses Heng]

i can bring you guys to view the fish though. The old uncles have harvested some and put them in the RC tank.

[ranmasatome]
