Today in the Fishroom~08/28/08 Parachromis gone wild

[Aquamojo]

First up...check out this wrecking crew. All of these fish are in a 300 gallon tank. I get them all to this one small area by putting the flash in an area where I can drop in a few pellets...and they all rush in for a bite and a photo.

The other wrecking crew in the Labridens tank.

The largest of my P. Loiselle at 7". Very difficult fish to photograph. He's starting to be a little more "user friendly". He's my prime candidate for pairing off with the female I've been showing.

A trio with the female on the left:

Last up....I've been playing with the lighting. This is something new. What do you think? I took fifty photos to get this shot.
