I think everyone is voting for 8 because of its rarity. Its a great pic but would be better if it was a full body shot.

The aro is hard to believe. Green throat and different colored fins. If I see a pic on here to back this fish up, it has my vote. But till I see that, it looks fake to me....

Seems the best photos are always accused of being fakes. To me though you are not only insulting the person who submitted the photo, but also anybody involved in judging the photos before allowing into this contest.

I voted for the photo because it is the one I liked the best. Being a close up is the reason it is a great photo.

All I am saying is that the aro looks like a bag of skittles (red, blue, green, purple, and red) And would love to see it again from "another angle" The other psychedelic pic looks a bit off as well and I see no fish. I mean no offense and also offered my vote if it is said to be real. IF it is real it is the nicest fish I have seen. Only 1 other time do I remember the word "fake" used in the potm...(hardly "always")......

Hey guys!
Please stop with the "WTF" of picture 19....
I dont like to talk about my picture cause i dont believe i have to publicit it! But cause there are some doubts i will explain it.
That picture was taken in my covered tank.
It has two bulbs, one red in the background and one with one for the front. I took that shot near the water surfice and it got that lamps reflections...
That color u all see its from the lamps and the plants...
We can see there some physes snails, some java fern and riccia that were over the wood...
I garantee that this photo wasnt changed... by any photoshop or other software...
I will be here for any explanations or by PM...
Enjoy the pictures, we have here true beauties... its dificult to chose i agree... :P

11-06-2007, 4:18 PM
I vote on quality, scarcity of the 'shot', background, and of course, position.
I believe that number 8 aro isnt real. Who has ever seen a pectoral with a negative effect? I didnt like it because I believe that it has been photoshopped to a degree.
Number 19, to me, appeared to be the surface of the wter with floating plants and a mist-maker. Not very hard to comprehend.
I voted for Number 14 because the colours are fantastic, awesome position, its a rare specimen, top notch camera quality and fish on black.

HI All
#8 was taken in the night with 1 pink lighting at front of tank, 1 blue lighting at middle (that explain the blue at the top of the Aro) and a white lighting at the back of the tank that pentrate the PetroFin and make it looks like neg- effect. And I have Black water added to dim the lighting effect and pic was taken without flash, so it was a little dark and under Exposure. :) Oh ya the green colour under the chin area is a reflection of my plant. If you want to see more of this Aro you can go to

I went with 11 because of the composition of the shot and the background.
The more I look at it, the more I like it. Something really special about that shot. Great Goramy. Looks like it's got a smug smile on it's face! It was my second choice.
the red aro (#8) is awesome. almost voted for it. but i picked the clown loaches instead (#7).
Wurms photo? Loaches got my vote. If you keep Clowns, then you'd know that this is a happy picture....!
If it were "FISH of the month" I'd vote for 8.
oh look, another who has the coolest fish vote. i wish people would vote based on the photo quality not just the fish. but anyways there are some pretty good shots here
FOTM? Always seems to go that way doesn't it? We should ban aros from POTM!
I had trouble deciding between No 5 and No 7 in the end i went for the loaches coz they're my favourite.
LOACHES BABY!!!
That pic is great
Happy, happy Clowns.
