Great pix and cichlids:headbang2


Lighting is about perfect but pix are alittle blurry. What camera settings are you using for these pix?

Thanks, I'm always open to suggestions and constructive criticism.

Here are the settings that I was using.

Exposure time - 1/250
Aperture - f/5.6
ISO - 100

Yes it is a Persei and it does stay dark just about all of the time. It seems like he may be lightening up a little as he gets larger but he certainly doesn't look nearly as light as the majority of them that I see on here.
 
i have a 11 inch one i bought from rapps and i really like him so i bought two juvies from fishfarm back in may for my 265 and one is really light and the larger one is dark i was wondering if something was wrong because everyone i see is always light,but i guess i am not the only one with a dark pearsei.it lightens up after water change but goes back dark in a day or two
