New Pix: ~ Crenicichla acutirostris ~

[Peanut_Power]

Still haven't reached their peak in coloration! They are so close to going over the top and fully coloring up, yet so far. Tis frustrating because they keep giving me glimpses of their eventually glorious coloration, yet they aren't being stable. Patience I guess!

I need to take some pictures without flash so I don't wash them out. They are just stunning, wish I could show that.

Enjoy!

You want to sell them? Sweet pikes!!

nice pike.

 

[Chaitika]

Nice!

Just try covering your flash with tissue paper. That should diffuse it enough.

These are definitely my favorite pikes!!! You are so lucky to have them!!! They look amazing even if they haven't fully colored up yet.

I'm hoping that by September they have reached their full color potential. In all reality it might not be till next year. I'm starting to power feed them though...so that might help some!!

Looking good Jer. I think it will still be awhile before there full potential is seen.
I never use a flash when I take them. Never knew to use tissue over the flash though, will have to try it.

You could come and take pictures of my fish for me!! The snook is calling.....

I can here him calling my name. How do you think it would do in the same setup with my Zo?
Hey I was just thinking I might have some 4 ft shop lights with double bulbs out at my parents.
