Some of the Red Cheek Robertsoni we caught in the Rio Danto this past April. They are about three inches. I have seven in the 300 gallon grow out tank.

AshDavid from another great site really made me start thinking on the background I used to photo this fish. The first thing I did was clean the algae off the back of the tank. That was a major improvement.

Then I took the background down and just kept the reflector as the BG. I wasn't as happy with the look.

Then I tried the blue BG. It really took alot away from the colors of the fish. I think if the blue wasn't reflective it would have been better.

I liked this a little better.

And then I tried these...which I like best of all:

I took some with a black BG...I will post later. Same thing with the refelctive black. I need flat black.

It was an interesting experiment in photographing the fish. More to come.
 
great pics. zonatus pics almost as good as that first set you posted.
gee you can get away with just about any bg with that beast.

nice macros
