A tank to be proud of.

Sadly, 3 cories passed away. I miss them. I think it was because I stocked to fast. I won't buy another swordtail or the 3 cories for another week, maybe a little more. I have a 20 watt full-spectrum bulb (made by coral-life) and flourish excel as CO2. The site I got them at said they don't need much lighting (.5 watts per gallon and more) and no CO2. I just bought flourish excel for a little benefit, even though I don't need it. I found out that auto, no flash, and macro make great pics. Look at this:

that last picture was taken with flash.

i always find that using the eye reducing flash<never striaght on shots>with macro is always best for me then just zoom in and crop what i like...like this

The reason I don't have many pics is because My fish don't stay still! Yes, that one was taken with flash- it was my first pic of the day and I forgot to turn the flash off before I took the picture. Those are some nice fish nelly!

thanks mAte......try it with the red eye flash on...take at slight angle....got to take loads to find one your happy with looking good mind....thats how i used to take pics til someone told me how to do this

What is the red eye flash? Does it get rid of red-eye on people? How would you do it on a cannon camera? And for the angle... left and right or up and down?

ok maybe you dont have this.....its a picture of an eye.....otherwise try the normal flash......try from angle down/up/left/right you will find whats best....only slight so you dont catch the flash on the glass

Hi shockshockshad

You have a beautiful tank.

Sorry to hear about your corys and hope you get some more soon.

Now all of my cories have passed away. I have done some reasearch and I think my fish have gotton the illness HEMORHAGIC SEPTICEMIA (sorry it is in caps- I copied it from the website and it was in caps there. I didn't want to type the long words) at the fish store I got them at. They died so quickly because of the stress of getting in a new tank plus the illness. For the pictures.... use the flash? And just angle it up, use a higher ISO (I figured out how to do that) and use macro mode?
