Hey guys, few quick shots from this morning with the Fuji P&S.

Cheers,

Great fish and pics. I take it you have the DSLR back in your capable hands.

Unfortunately not, these are just with a mid ranged Fuji P&S. Currently hunting down a reasonably priced Canon though as I'm sick of having to beg/borrow/steal the 400D I often have access to.

That makes the pics even more impressive.

Looks like I've found a 400D body at a good price

Great looking fish Japes, their facial coloring and markings are amazing

wow man they look really awesome! What size do these guys top out at just curious?

I love the red facial highlighting. It's interesting that some of them have full dorsal patterns while others do not. Nice red highlights in the dorsals as well.

BastardFish - I have seen a few 10" SL leucosticta before, but they seem to be painfully slow growers compared to the fish you usually keep.

Your leucosticta are beautiful, the colors are amazing too, never seen that much red on any leucosticta in person before. I wish I could get quality pics like that with my P&S... **sigh**
