I take the pictures on macro setting and crop them to the head shot. They usually don't come out too clearly, but if I take a lot of pictures, I can usually get a couple in focus.

A holding female.

Sand, I don't think I can pick a favorite, but I kept demasoni for many years and loved them. They are a great little fish.

Beautiful flavus Betty! You have such great looking fish, and your photography skills do them justice. I'm constantly jealous. LOL

Updating a very old topic -- I dusted off my camera and charged the battery and found out I'm getting worse at taking fish pics.

I lost some flavus in a heater mishap a couple of years ago and a few others from various causes -- age and aggression, etc., but I still have two male flavus. Getting old, but still looking good.

I dunno.... I'd say your photo skillzs are awesome! Hansom fish. I kept africans about 100 years ago, but have no room to do them again. Also, I want to keep species that match my water conditions ( soft, acid) so I don't have to do a bunch of buffering.

Wow! Those colors are stunning! ^_^

Do you have Metriaclima Maisoni reef? Those are pretty hard to find and looks stunning also. =)

 

[Betty]

Thanks.
No maisoni reef, but they are good looking! Looking back through old pictures, I kept a lot of black and yellow cichlid species -- yellow labs, crabro, auratus and flavus.

If I setup an african cichlid tank again, Would definitely going after the maisoni reef.. =)

Have you kept Maylandia aurora before? That is on my wish list before.. =)

 

[Betty]

Not the aurora either. There are too many that I've wanted to keep and not enough tank space or time left. I wanted to keep L. chisumulae and was on a waiting list forever and never did get any. I also like the C. afras... so many.

I also love Labeotropheus and their funny "noses". I used to keep fuelleborni. So darn cute!
