Wow, thanks for all the nice comments . My camera is an Olympus D-230, quite old, don't think they sell them anymore. It's so easy to use, when I'm taking shots of my tank I reduce the exposure setting and make sure the room is completely dark (except tank lights). This pic was taken using the macro setting, I just pointed the camera where I wanted and waited for the shot. It didn't take long, my Cardinals are quite cheeky now, they're colour has improved so much since I've planted heavily and softened my water (RO).

We're quite lucky in the UK as most Cardinals are tank bred from the Czech Republic and are relatively hardy, I know of people who keep them in pH 8!! Not that I would.

psgill - The lily is Nymphaea sp. either stelleta or japonicus
