ACA 2008 (lots of fish pictures and more...)

[Aquamojo]

I need to write this down. LOL

So that pic u posted is a RAW unedited.untouched by photoshop to clean the Background?

I did nothing unusual in photoshop to blackout the background. It's a JPEG. I have other photos shot at a more wide open aperture that show more of what's behind the tank. Like all my photos...I may shoot a dozen to get one.

You wouldn't be able to see the RAW image on the net. It would show up as a thumbnail.

Write it down. It's a fact.

This is great info. Especially for me. I'm thinking about getting a Canon Digital Rebel either the XT or XTi depending on which one I find a better deal for.

Nope none that I saw. I wasn't really paying attention to the auction but I don't think there was even any there.

What about victorians?

 

[ikevi]

There were a decent amount of them. Ruby green piebolds, albino, Astatotilapia latifasciata,Astatotilapia nubilus some different types of Paralabidochromis. (Both in the show and auction.) But I didn't take many pictures since well a lot of them were semi shy, but I tended to focus on fish I didn't have/had shots of.

That's great to hear, I love victorians. Too bad I missed out on this year's ACA. I was there last year and it was a blast.

Let's see how I do on the identification. I don't know squat about African cichlids.

Paretroplus menarambo

That's the best I can do. Thanks to www.cichidae.com for proper spelling.

Actually with the spot on the side it is a Paretroplus maculatus.

And that is what it was labeled as at the show. (Sorry I just realized I didn't repost the names. I thought I had well we will see if I get to the 34 left.)
