A freshwater tropical fish - I can't remember it's name even though I used to have these!

ISO100, f/8, 1/250, 65mm, 1:1

Nice


That`s crying out for a caption though

well captured Dave, like the way you've framed this one

Cheers Paul - not sure I can think of a decent caption.

Bit of luck Dave - first shot I took of that aquarium then they scattered!

By the way I just sold my last 77mm C-PL on TP forum... to make way for a Lee set .

It's all your fault! with those flipping Skye photos!!! - I hope you feel guilty

Nice shot, the background colours make for a very nice smooth bokeh.

Is this from the same set at the "fish shop" or have you been again?

[dazza74]

Nice pic Dave, you get bokeh I can only dream of

Cheers sigh... the MP-E can't help but do nice bokeh, it's a curse .

Yep, same shop, same visit.

Couldn't possibly put a freshwater fish in the marine thread though

Nice one Dave.

This one looks like a dwarf cichlid, possibly Apistogramma.
I also used to have a freshwater tropical tank for many years and hope to set one up again someday.

I'll have to get myself down to an aquarium shop and see if I can get some photos. Do you find that the flash spooks the fish?

Mike

[onefivenine]

Thanks Mike.

I'm hoping to revive my old tank too - need to wait till we move into a bigger house this summer. Plecs are my favourites

The flash didn't seem to spook the ones I was shooting. I wouldn't go flashing discus tanks though - you know how delicate their little tickers are!

Typically a lot of them scatter when they see the lens approach: dark shadow = predator to a lot of them I suspect.
Those which were less nervous/more inquisitive, didn't seem to mind.

Your right Mike Apistogramma ramirezi Dwarf Cichlid or it's common name Golden Ram.

Worth every penny mate

Decided what you're going for yet? or have you taken the plunge?

Think I've just about made my mind up. But maybe need some advice on my initial choices!

[springtide]

Great shot! Love it.

Looks like it's worth buying a Canon Body just for the MP-E

I'm sure you wouldn't be the first if you did.

Female by the looks of it too.
