Going from monster to baby fish :D Our local forum is running a grow out contest, I have been snapping shots of this thing weekly, I was pretty happy with tonights shots, so, I thought I would share.

I think that they are Red Empress, anyone out there breed them? Can you tell me if my bet on the id of the fry is right?
 
nemesis, that is cool how the moon is over the city and everything! Great capture, but at that ISO/shutter speed you need a tripod as you can see how its oof (out of focus).

bigpic, great pics! I have no idea about the ID though!
 
^ Wow... that's an amazing shot. I can't wait to get an slr, so I can practice, and maybe someday get a shot like that.
 
I've seriously gotta have someone teach me how to make the black background and the subject pop out!! LoL!!

Ray ~ Awesome pictures man!! Represent some Crenicichla will ya! ;)

I hate that my glass is scratched. . . .
 
Wonword, thanks a lot, no worries on the id, I'm pretty sure I got it pegged.

Nice one Gerry, looks like a fish tail haning out of the Chili's mouth! (that is the Chili, right?) Thanks BTW.

Peanut, It's all about lighting. . . your shot has some good detail, it really is too bad about the scratched glass. I will throw up some Creni shots, I gotta make it a good one ;)
 
hahaha - I was just refering to the "barbels" looking like a forked tail coming out of the mouth, I hadn't noticed the cricket's head to be honest :D

After my post, I wondered if that had been what you meant, lol.
