Japes' Epic Photospam Thread (No Dialup)

What camera/lens are you using? That's really nice clarity on the pictures. Pretty fish/aquascaping too. +1 to jealous.

EOS400D with a 50mm F2.8.

that green shimmer on the chocolate cichlid is outstanding

Yeah he's a great looking fish, but it's a pity he's such an utter ***** to photograph. Always hanging at the back or in the dark.

Group shot of some of my Eartheaters. No prizes for guessing which are which

Best photo I've gotten recently of my larger Female Heros efasciatus. Headbanger Severum that usually loses all colour when the camera makes an appearance.

Wow extremely nice eartheaters. What kind of filtration do you have going because that water is crystal clear!
