    wow! Love the colours.
    I also had a hard time stalking rainbows flaring. The pictures were never as sharp as I want them to be. Gave up taking a flaring picture of them after awhile.

    I get very intimidated by small fishes!
    Hristo, your pictures are amazing as seen on APF. Standards to look up to like Benny's.

    Oh, thank you for these compliments, folks!
    But now I’ll gonna make you laughing… with my old/ first shooting macro attempts
    Including exactly this Rainbows specimen!
    As I remember, the shots were made only with tank lightning (without flash).

    wow this is cute, with the way the pectoral fins are positioned I thought the fish were upside down.
    well done Hristo

    its very very hard to get a good profile shot at these guys as they always curl their bodies when they flare! but your fishes are in great condition
    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.

    Wow very very impressive shots of your Pseudomugil Gertrudae!

    The polka dots in contrast with the white fins, coupled with the yellowish orange hues on the body, is absolutely beautiful! How long did you spend stalking this fish?

    cheers,

    Re: AQUASAUR's shots of Rainbows...

    So, here's a new tank of mine, which I had start lately especially for collecting some Blue eyes Rainbow specimens...
    It's very hard to notice in side the present two specimens of them yet , but let me try with some snap shots:


    Pseudomugil tenellus:

    Very nice Pseudomugil tenellus Hristo.

    I've not seen any other Pseudomugil here in SG except for connieae and gertrudae.
    Fish.. Simply Irresistable
    Back to Killies... slowly.

    Re: AQUASAUR's shots of Rainbows...

    Finally, one almost good shot of these little speedy Busters from tonight...

    Pseudomugil tenellus pair


    And as the other Pseudomugils specimen in this tank of mine are still not enough ripe for Photo-models...
    I'll continuing with the other tank-mates - Iriatherina Werneri
    The focus of that shot is not perfect, but the fish poses are very typical and expressive, though...
    It looks like "three Planet orbiting around the Sun(the female)"
