No problem, that site has awesome info and awesome pics too!
I used an HP Photosmart 612. Its an older type camera and the only thing that I did was not let it flash when I took the pics. A camera like Aquamojo is the way to go for taking pics of fish.
One week down. The JD has had a great start. Did another 20-30% WC today. The Dempsey has eaten every food I have presented him, including a large mosquito and a house fly. The only change I have seen this week is in her/his coloration, the number of blue specks has probably doubled. I do not know if this is due to a improved diet from what it was eating at the Aquaculture & LFS or if it is due to maturing. Enjoy this weeks pics and thanks for all the feedback.

i vote no flash. i have a texas that looks gold with flash but has beautiful colors without. GL man my JD died 2 months ago had him for 6 years ;(
No flash is great for color, but with the lighting I have in the tank, I have to set the shutter speed to 1/6 of a second, which means the fish has to stay perfectly still to get a focused shot on my point and shoot digital. With flash the shutter speed is 1/400 of a second, so the shots are easier to get in focus. I will continue to post both with and without, but i agree with everyone when they say no flash are better pics. The last pic is my favorite i have taken so far.
Here it is with levels adjusted, cropped, and turned up contrast. Enjoy!
