[Video] Rio Nanay-drainage Biotope

[japes]

Hey guys,

Purchased a new 550D the other day and have been playing with the 1080p video functionality. Fantastic fun, but I need a lot of practice as manual exposure and focus for optimum quality is quite hard to perfect.

Filmed (poorly) on my F/4-5.6 17-85mm - wider apertures are rad fun but a bit harder to master.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3PXChKZ8SA - Embed doesn't do 16:9 unfortunately. It was uploaded at 720p but apparently Youtube will only do 360 for me.

My Rio Nanay-drainage Biotope, inspired by photographs and information from Martin and Tom's Apistogramma Bible (http://apisto.sites.no/slekt). All wild specimens, based around Apistogramma sp. "Black-Chin Schwarzkinn", with one female currently guarding 2 day old free-swimming fry. You can get a glimpse of them at 1:08.


Stocking (All Wild):
- 3x Apistogramma sp. "Black-Chin/Schwarzkinn" (Breeding Trio)
- 12x Nannostomus mortenthaleri "Coral Red Pencilfish"
- 5x Corydoras atropersonatus

Cheers,
japes

Excellent tank and fish. It looks very convincing as a natural habitat.

I love the sunshine coast. Im brissy born, even though gold coast was closer, sunshine was always fair superior.
How the development though, its been many years since ive been up.
