Oh yeah. I've seen those before. It looked different in the vid for some reason. Thanks.

Can't believe this one slipped under the radar. Apparently there IS much work to be done here.

Tony loved the video man. I too was loving another look at those sweet, sweet angels. Sure is lots to watch in there. I'm envious as balls.

Great vid Tony, the tank looks awesome. And of course the stars of the show are looking spectacular. That lavender is a zippy little dude isn't he?

Oh and good choice of music, "wind beneath my wings" is so overdone

Great vid ...That crosshatch is flippin sweet

Oh damn I didn't have my sound on at the time. I've loved this track ever since I discovered the Apartment in a Telus (burn Telus BURN) ad. Score!

Great treadmillin' track fyi.

I have been trying to capture the lavender in a good photo. He has such exquisite features but so subtle so photos just don't capture them. Plus he's very very fast, for whatever reason, photos end up so dark for me, I have to have the aperture wide open which gets me a razor thin depth of field, so getting focus nailed in is a challenge.

Here are the keeper results of my last few attempts.













Thanks for looking. Also, any tips for photographing fish gleefully accepted.

Tony! He's gorgeous!!! Wow, now I'm totally bummed I missed out on mine

On the flip side I ordered a female bellus today, don't know why the males arent' available though

Now I'm totally going to be on the hunt for a lavender tang. Wow!!

As for photog tips, have an itchy trigger finger for these guys, I think my average is about 1 in 50 or 1 in 75 of a decent tang photo

Thanks. Yeah, that's about the discard rate for me as well. Guess that's par for the course then .. I was just playing around with the camera settings and found that I was shooting in JPEG instead of raw, so I changed that and will see how things change from here on. The thing that annoys me is that I have the ISO equivalency set to 1600 which is enormous and explains the graininess but the shots are way too unusably dark if I don't have it that way. Maybe it's just a limitation of how much light the lens lets in???
