New Fader

[shenzhenluohan]

I picked this guy up from a local breeder today. He's about 5-6" has always had tankmates.
I'm really happy with this guy.
sorry for my crap photography.

For some reason the camera washes out some color, In person his tail is quite a striking orange.

Thanks! Faders are fairly common here, but quality ones are quite rare. ZZ are even for sale in bags on the street for a few cents but again high quality are rare.
My cam is only 2mp point and shoot so I can't play with many settings. I want to buy a DSLR but seems I alwayys spend everything extra on fishy things (and Beer!).

Thanks! I've got him weaned off feeders and onto blood worms and Grandsumo red. his head has shrunk a bit but hopeful he'll bounce back.

Thanks for the photo tips mate! I'll test it out next time.

Well, he's been one month off of feeders, His head is really starting to pop, faded a bit more. Body hasn't really shown any color improvement, but fins and tail have colored right up. I'm afraid my photo skills haven't improved much either...
