Cohazard DSLR shots

The delhezi are always all over the tank. This is why I chose to go all upper jaw this time.
These guys are pretty active too but they're still settling in.

Stunning.
Those might be the nicest mokes ive ever seen.
A while back we were talking about dslr cameras and the different settings...and it still sounds like rocket science to me.
What camera are you using ? Any special lighting ?
I find SLR shots to be challenging in the tank. I need a lens that's better in low light.
Gorgeous shots! I love seeing other Mokes in the forum. Can you post a tank shot so I can see how you have it set up? Do you stain the water with leaves etc or is that lighting making it look like tannins?

Awesome fish + awesome shots + awesome tank= 3x the awesomeness
Beautiful shots
Thank you. I honestly feel like I got lazy and can get better shots.
Thank you brother. The learning curve seems daunting at first, but it's really a triangle of three settings you adjust depending on what you're trying to do. Let me know if you have questions and I can help.
I shot these with a Nikon D7000, and two Nikon SB700 speedlites. The tank lights were on, but none of the light that you see in the pictures came from the light on the tank. If it weren't for the speedlites, these pictures would come out black with the settings I used.
My camera is not new at all, I think I've had it since 2012. My buddy Joe is selling a DSLR with a couple lenses for cheap in the classifieds.
Thank you, I do have a fast lens (f 1.5) but i didn't use it for these shots, I used a micro nikkor lens at 3.5 f stop.
All the lighting in these pics are from two remote flashes, the color of the water is from all the Malaysian driftwood in the tank.

Awesome
Yes I'm glad they were active but here is a pro tip on photographing bichirs: drop in a pellet or two and they'll be very active looking for food. Can also defrost blood works and just add the juice and not the worms. The fish will be frantically looking for food and give you good shots.
I tossed in a couple of these (hikari carnivore) before shooting to get the mokes out of hiding. Yes, it's cheating, but it works
Some things never change--- the quality of your photos and fish. Looking great.
The more I see your mokes, the more they are climbing my list of favorites
