    Hey, Pals
    Can you say at once – what is that fish “BATMAN”













    OK, I’m just joking… it’s easy guess –rotate the pic on 180 degrees and that is:



    and if somebody wondering still, what is that fish …
    the answer is - Toracocharax Securis (from Central American’s area)



    and that’s another more popular its cousin(from PERU) - Carnegiella Strigata:



    Here they are schooling in the tank, mostly under water surface area…



    So, in that kind of looking…these fishes are not much impressive…
    But I had trying to get some close up macro shots and catch some magnificent fascination of them…
    sometimes almost transparently…other time - distracting the lights by unique way…








    They haven’t so horrible teeth…but it’s not quite harmless…

    Hristo,

    You had me fooled for quite a while when I was looking at the first picture! Good one!

    I love hatchet fishes and this is a great series. Plenty of good details. The schooling shot of 3 is fantastic, but I do see something else peering out from below.

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

    AQUASAUR,

    As usual... lovely shots!
    From picture one, I can now know how the fish have an excellent view overhead.
    Did you shot from the top of the tank?

    Hristo,

    All your different series are very impressive. I think I will rename all your threads to include your username so that all our members can easily seach for your threads just by the title alone. Hope you don't mind!

    Keep them pictures coming!

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

    Great shots Hristo. I've always wanted to keep hatchet but I was told that they jump so I never actually bought one. Do you hatchets jump? Love the detail shot of the marble.

    Hi,

    Same here.. I am awed by the details, especially the photo showing the scales of the hachet fish.

    Very very nice shots!

    Continuing with another representative of Tetras family,
    and try to show the most expressive details of that lovely fish…
    So, that how look my Nematobrycon Palmeri – The Emperor’s Tetra:




    May be the first important thing to say, is that, why they call it “The Emperor’s Tetra”…
    Here is the answer:





    Of course, the male “brings the heavy crown” and often flaunt it and his colorfully dress…





    The female is looking quite modest…





    The other typical feature is their blue eyes – so magnificent and so hard to take a good shot on it using a flash…





    May be some of you didn’t see the Black (purple) cousin of the Palmeri, who is enough expressive too:





    And as you guess I like to do, for the Tetras post final…
    To All keepers of that beautiful fish – don’t forget! They got very evil teeth… ...

    Yeah, actually, the macro shots always bring to me too some nice surprises about the fish’s details

    Thank you, mates!

    OK, if you like TEETH... here is one my old curious photo series of my biggest Tetra Congo (3 years old – 10 cm.),
    Living in my biggest Discus/Rainbows/Tetras tank…












    What do you think – is this cousin of Piranha seems enough pretty evil…

    Jeez! the teeth have triple tips!
    I suppose at 10 cm size he can take out insects unfortunate enough to "drop-in".
    Again, cool shots AQUASAUR!!

    Re: AQUASAUR's TETRA shots ...

    The Black Tetra(Gymnocorymbus ternetzi) is not quite colorful or photogenic fish...but I hope you'll like this couple shots of mine Ternetzi pair:
