nice nice! well illuminated without the background. you used flash?
btw how come the reflection has localised rippling? you PS it?
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.

Thanks lorba and hwchoy! I don't have a tank to just take pictures. One day I woke up and just noticed that this plant got extremely large for some reason and took the picture without using flash. The rippling on the surface of the water was caused by a overhang filter very close the the left. The things I did on photoshop were to enhance the color and remove some unwanted plants in the background.
Camera Statistics
FujiFilm FinePix 2650
3x Optical Zoom with Macro Function
2.0 MegaPixels
Note that the pictures Macro feature is very weak compared to the powerful SLRs but it's good enough to have some fun with.
very nice and healthy fish! Any front view of the tank?

I'm quite embarassed with my tank. SOme people say it's ok looking but.....
I don't think so.
When it's ready, I'll def post a picture for you guys.
The last fish is known as a Hummingbird Tetra. I do not know the specific var. name but it is a Characidium.
I think these are excellent pictures. Goes to show that you don't need a fancy camera to get good pictures.
Cheers,
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
I agree. How about showing us the before PS color-enhanced image?
