I haven't taken a single fish picture since probable May, so I snapped a few.
I should have cleaned the outside of the glass but I hadn't planned on taking pictures.

The Dovii family. The male is about 6 1/2" maybe 7", the female about 6" and the babys are 3/4" to 1". They are in a 180 gallon tank. They had just had a meal of bloodworms.

CZJ flectogon 35mm 2.4 lense
At f/5.6 --- f/8 to 16 would have been a lot better.

The wee ones.

Damn!!! The pics are great! Nice doviis. Has the pair shown aggression to their fry yet?

Thanks.

No not any. They have spawned 3 time since these. They let these fry right in with the eggs. The eggs disappear in about 4 days. They are still protecting these. I still haven't figured out what I'm going to do with these yet. If they look like the parents they should be real lookers.
 
Very nice photos. what type of camera you're using? look extremely clear.

That's very interesting. I wonder of they're ever going to snap on these fry. Where'd you get the parents from?
