wow quite a nice looking fishy, kind of looks like a goby.

you should try altering the brightness and contract efore uploading :D

lovely mono in the background aswell.
 
It is a type of goby :lol:

The pic looks ok on my screen, it all depends on the settings your using.
 
Hi CfC
Great fish i used to have a pair of these, sold to me as knight Gobies when i was very inexperienced :rolleyes:. We kept them in freshwater when they were younger but one got killed by a sucking loach the other is doing great with my now ex -boyfriend , he's keeping it in a 30 gallon brackish tank by itself now where its living up to the name of sleeper goby!! , mine never ate algae though you must have a weird one!! :p
 
wow the skills!...i mean i knew that all along!!

odd my screen brightest and contrast are on max, how does this look to you, as on mine it's clearer??? although a bit hazy.

Very hazy, like the glass is filthy (which it isnt cos i just cleaned it lol)
 
I think the pic looks fine... If it's too dark for you on the highest brightness level, Paul, perhaps you should consider investing in a new monitor?
Anywho... using Photoshop's 'curves' option can clear up a pic wonderfully. Here's what I did by adjusting the curves and applying auto levels. ;)

awsome fish CFC :flex:

aggresive at all?

DD
 
cool fish CFC!! i love seeing your fish.
At my lfs, they call em jade gobies, and they feed em live food. they are stunted from being in a small tank so long, and they stay in the back corner of the tank all the time until they are fed. i think my LFS keeps them in freshwater though, the manager said that in brackish water, you just need the ph to be high, you dont need salt. i dont believe him, i know they should have salt. thats what you get from a chain pet store :/ .

the patern of the fish's scales look awsome CFC, do you know how big they should get?
 
Thats the same fish I just picked up at the lfs. I have posted a topic on it. Seems they are brackish. I am going to slowly convert his tank over...I cant believe they have kept him in freshwater. No wonder he has fungus. :no: Nice pic! They seem like great fish!
