Got A New Camera, So Taken Some Photos Of My Fish

[ChilliPepper]

Still getting to grips with it, so bare with me for a first attempt!

First, has to be Boris:

This is him looking at me while watching TV

My elusive Green Sev:

Mister Orange was annoyed with the new camera and decided not to come out

My beautiful Nic:

Bolivian Ram:

Apistogramma Agassizi:

Rainbowfish; female left, males right. The males are getting their adult shape already:

Great Photos. What is the camera??

 

[fluffycabbage]

wow what stunning fish you have! do they all live happily together? fab pics

 

[ChilliPepper]

Thanks everyone.

The Apisto is a fiesty little fellow. I'd like to get him a couple of females when I eventually find some good strong stock.

They don't all live together; the Rainbows and dwarf cichlids are in one tank, and the bigger cichlids in another. Unfortunately Boris would have no qualms swallowing the Apisto and Rainbows, and would probably have a good go at the Rams too. He has a HUUUUUGE gob

Lovely pics Chilli. It's nice to have a photographic update of everyone's fish now and again !!

I'm amazed by how similar your Boris's shape and colour is to Biff, my chocolate cihclid's. Take away Boris's orange and he would be a dead ringer ! I suspect he's a bit bigger than Biff at the moment too. Biff is only 3" .

Thanks, yes he is twice the size of Biff, not including tail He is huge already, hard to imagine he'll double that size again at least! Plus the girth on him

Have you got any recent photos of your lot to post?

Fantastic pictures ChilliPepper, but you've dodged the question three times already. We want to know what camera your using?

I clearly see now what someone told me about the male rainbows and the "pinched head" that you see to determine sex, looking at my 3 Boesemani's i clearly have 3 females. What luck. I'm offski to find a male i guess

 

[ChilliPepper]

Not dodging, just quickly replying It's a Nikon dSLR

I don't know about sexing the other kinds of Rainbows, but Praecox are easy - males have red fins and females yellowy-orange.
