love the fifth pic oh yea just wondering they kind of flowerhorn cant get any redder?
I feed him hikari and tetra foods but there are many Flowerhorn foods available here mostly from the east, some can blow the red up! but actually I don't trust them much. I'm good with my foods.

By the way, it seems to me that the color ( and any other factor ) is different from each FH to another. some get pure red and some won't get any, even when they are apparently from the same kind.
their genes seems to be over-manipulated!

My fish won't stand still too!
when you only have a point and shoot or amateur camera which doesn't work good at high ISO speeds and doesn't have good manual settings then you have to find another way!

you can move the camera with the fish in the exact same speed and direction so the relative velocity between them becomes zero and its like they are motionless relative to each other.
it's not easy that much but after some tries you can get it. for example, the fifth picture is a pure run and shoot! lol ( look at the back ground )
my camera is very amateur but I could get this shot by means of the mentioned technic, even with an ISO of 200 which in a normal shoot makes the least movement ruin the picture. I took about 20 shots and deleted them untill this one.
 
I actually love the 1st, and 2nd pictures.
Lots of time I just hope my baby flowerhorns never grow.
Any one know if there is a mini flowerhorn in the hobby?
