Now aren't you glad you made the invesment?

I'm no aquaphotography guru but keep the eyes focused.
I like to picture of the female.
If you can crop some the pictuyre will look better.
btw how many flash units are you using?

[Wackytpt]

Hi Irwin,

Lens is a borrowed lens from Valice. Using a 60mm macro.

Still saving up on the 100mm macro.

I only used 1 x 580ex flash.

Wow... Very NICE pair.. wild caught? I like the dorsal...

[Wackytpt]

HI Andy,

This pair is a wild caught pair.

[doubleace]

This pair is a wild caught pair.

hmm... good catch... Worth to invest..

[celticfish]

Very credible with just one flash wackytpt!
The 60 mm is enough for apistos.
Well done and "steady lah!"
Wait ill benny sees the fruits of labour of his workshop!

One of my favourite apistogramma species.
I like the 2nd picture

Great pair you've got Nicholas!

Male has full red ring on caudal fin and nice extended ventrals
Female's coloration is damn solid, proportionate body too...
Hope these beauties spawn soon

[yorky]

Wacky, very nice pair indeed!
Finally I get to see it.
I suspect the orange patches on the caudal in real-life is more intense than the photo.

Doubleace, as we were chatting, told you, you'll like it with the high dorsal.

Irwin,

Indeed the workshop helps me in the understanding of fish photography. I still think my skill are still far from good. Maybe be setting up a photograph tank soon.

Yorky,

Finally is the word. Haha.. The orange patches on the caudal is more intense. As the fish wasn't at the "spot sweet" of the flash.

Andy,

Don't resist temptation. Get them. If you really want, I can let go to you.

Cheers

I believe you also have a pair too. Show us picture of your wild pair too.

Joe, how come it is rare?

great photography skills nicholas

Yixiang, my skill is still far away. The eyes of the apisto are not sharp. Thus it is still not good.

[illumnae]

better than anything i could ever take, so still great skill in my eyes

I've a young trio of A. baenschi too, but there's no way i can take pictures even half as nice as yours.

Actually, come to think about the position of your tanks and the working distance between your wall and the tank, the 60mm might be just nice. 100mm maybe abit long. But I can't be sure.

Nice to see it at work. Been in my cabinet for some time without being exercised.

Thats a really beautiful pair! Do the fish take dry food?
