Some shots of my Tetras...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Sorry, my " techical" English is not so good..."post-processing bevel framing"... - I don't understand what do you mean !??
 
I am talking about the edge around the photos. There is a bevel/chisel effect applied.

Perhaps something more like this, although it is a little "flashy" too...

Joseph that is WAAAAAAY too much IMHO :) but I agree the bevel edge is not something that adds to the images. Why not just leave them the way they are? I used to do a lot of borders but lately i JUST want to show the images as they are. Why take away from the beauty of the subjects. But there is something about a simple black frame that works well.
 
Continuing with another my favorite Tetras - veiltail Hyphessobrycon callistus callistus
Growing up, they are not much spectacular, but being adult – they are attractive and beautiful…:-P

That’s one crop showing their typical feature – the veil tail and fins elegancy…

Hyphessobrycon%20callistus%20tails.jpg


I got 9 of them and they just don’t much visible between all other Discus, Rainbows, Tetras…
But they zone the tank, and every male watching for his own territory very strictly…
Only sometimes, some female, goes to cross that borders and coquette in front the dominant male…

The other guys just jealous gaping…:-( :

Hyphessobrycon%20callistus%20male.jpg


But don’t forget – they are the cousin of Piranha too…
if you make them angry – just see how they look...>)...

Hi, PALS
I gave to my self almost a month a good vacation…:-P
But next, of course, was too much retrieve on work and stuffs…:-(
So, here I go again…
Seeing no comets on my last Tetras post…:rolleyes:
I will continue with another representative of that family, which I’m sure, more of you like more… Nematobrycon Palmeri – The Emperor’s Tetra
Some of you had posted some photos about, but I thing, no one had try to show the most expressive details of that lovely fish…:idea:
So, that how look my Palmeri:

Nematobrycon%20Palmeri%20male.jpg



May be the first important thing to say, is that, why they call it “The Emperor’s Tetra”…
Here is the answer:


Nematobrycon%20Palmeri%20crown%20tail.jpg



Of course, the male “brings the heavy crown” and often flaunt it and his colorfully dress…


Nematobrycon%20Palmeri%20male%202.jpg



The female is looking quite modest…


Nematobrycon%20Palmeri%20female.jpg



The other typical feature is their blue eyes – so magnificent and so hard to take a good shot on it using a flash…


Nematobrycon%20Palmeri%20face.jpg



May be some of you didn’t see the Black (purple) cousin of the Palmeri, who is enough expressive too:


Nematobrycon%20Palmeri%20Black.jpg



And as you guess I like to do, for the Tetras post final…
Ed, CDM and all others keeping that beautiful fish – don’t forget! They got very evil teeth…>)...

It’s interesting, seeing the next of my Tetras…at those angle –
almost looks like a fish “BATMAN”

OK, I’m just joking…just rotate the pic on 180 degrees and that is:

Toracocharax%20Securis.jpg


and if somebody wondering still, what is that fish …
the answer is - Toracocharax Securis (from Central American’s area)

Toracocharax%20Securis%201.jpg


and that’s another more popular its cousin(from PERU) - Carnegiella Strigata:

Carnegiella%20Strigata%201.jpg


Here they are schooling in the tank, mostly under water surface area…

Carnegiella%20Strigata%203%20w.jpg


So, in that kind of looking…these fishes are not much impressive…
But I had trying to get some close up macro shots and catch some magnificent fascination of them…
sometimes almost transparently…other time - distracting the lights by unique way…

They haven’t so horrible teeth…but it’s not quite harmless…;)

Wow, Hristo, you are really good at detail shots. Those are great shots. Yeah, I do (did) keep these little fishes, but, they are in a 125gal planted tank. I have no luck to get such close up shots as I used to be. Thanks for sharing and keep the photos coming.
