Try sticking to f/16 and higher aperture. Most lenses are less sharp once they hit that range (macros are built different from most lenses, but try it anyways).

OK, let me scare your mind again with another “art-horror” photo of my “evil” Glossolepis Multisquamatus: :
and that is how normally they look in my tank:

Hey, Pals
I need some help to identify correct this Rainbows specimens:
That one above, from my last photos post, I bought like Melanotaenia Splendida…,
But as I found this specimen in the Net, it seems more like Glossolepis Multisquamatus...
And also, this one below, must be Melanotaenia Ausrtalis…
What do you think!?

OK, after analyzing all opinions from some other aquatic sites, that I received, about these ID, I think - the first ones are Glossolepis Multisquamatus.
That is how the males become changing colors when spreading fins…
And the seconds are Melanotaenia Splendida Australis, anyhow they look like Trifasciata...
Will be glad to hear any other suggestion about that ID...!?

I am not sure about the id, but as usual I think you capture your rainbows brilliantly <as I do about your orangys too!> Thanks for sharing!

Hristo,
Your rainbows look fabulous, but I was shocked to see them in with Discus. I usually keep my rainbows in pH 7.8/ medium hard water and Discus in pH 6.0/ soft water. What are your water conditions?

All my Rainbows living in 4 different tanks mostly with Discus company…,
but just one(what you know well) is for show,
the others are not so “neat” and only for “private consummation”…:
Now I prepare my new thread “Dicsustec part III” and there you will see some of those Rainbows...
(somewhere between all my huge and “overstocked” Discus fishes…:lol: )
Now I want to share some “combat” shots of males M.Boesemani:
Thanks, Lynn
I’m glad to see you here…and may be more glad, if will see some photos of your neat planted tank and that cool blue Betta…
Hi, Rick!
Yes, it’s better to keep Raibows in pH 7.8 and medium hard water,
But most of mine are not “imported”, they are born here (in Bulgaria)
and are developed generations to our parameters of water…
Here, in Sofia (Bulgaria), the water is almost “Amazonian” – pH 6.8 ; dH and kH 2 – 6 degreases!
I like much that combination – Discus/Tetras/Rainbows…I kept them since many years and there was no any problem!

I agree with Kirimav. It could be Glossolepis dorityi. Take a look at the following page: http://members.optusnet.com.au/chelmon/Dorityi.htm

OK, It was a much disputes in one site about ID of that Rainbow’s specimen…!???
I’m not sure still, is it G.Multysquamatus or some other kind of Rainbows…is it a Hybrid or not,
but I’m glad to have that fish in my Discus/Rainbows tanks!
Will be curious to know, seeing next pictures, who will be disagree with me about his beauty…!?
