Another shot of the P. Loiselle from La Cieba, Honduras. On a side note, I sent a dozen photos of this fish of to Dr. Paul Loiselle to get his feedback. I'm not sure if he has seen it. Just curious to what he has to say about a fish that's been named after him. I will post his response when I get it.
Paratheraps breidohri...I am loving this fish!
Shot of the Freddie alongside of the Loiselle in the big grow out tank
I know that I post a lot of pictures of the following fish. When I take photos I generally set out to try and get something different...either activity or some other aspect. The Managuense and the Zonatum are just VERY cooperative models.
Yesterday I started playing with the lighting a bit. Generally I set two lights over the tank and adjust a reflector in front and below the tank to reflect light back to the underside of the fish. This time I put a large diffuser on one flash and mounted it below and in front ot the tank pointing straight back to the underside of the fish (did that make sense?) Here's the results.
Not so much on this photo...but the belly of the fish is lit. As you can see I took the photo as he was swimming out of the "sweet spot" giving that dramatic lighting.
Here's a perfect example of an "evenly lit" fish. Both sides...plus top and bottom.
Nicely lit belly. Note the scale detail just underneath the operculum.
Just a little forward of the bottom flash. Note the detail on the pelvic fins.
Last one.
Some new fish I got at the convention...Amphilophus nourisati. I picked up seven of these guys.
