These were actually taken last week. As I was filing my RAW images I saw that I forgot to process these. I think they are probably three of the best that I've taken of this fish. For this I used only one key light offset to the right of the fish. I used a reflector on the bottom of the tank and bounced light up from the bottom...slightly illuminating the fish. I think the overall effect is more dramatic.

Great looking specimen & pics!
 
He is so pretty :). Do Zonatums all get the large bulge under the throat like this one has?
 
Beautiful fish, definitely on my wish list! The photos are stunning as well, very nicely done.

What is their temperament like? Tank-mates? :popcorn:

Thanks for sharing.
 
Such a stunner Mo. I love seeing pics of this guy, thanks for sharing! :thumbsup:
 
Great pics mo, but my fav pic of this guy has to be the one where you two are eye to eye. classic pic and it shows how bulky he really is!
