Why you should never waste your time

[Sorrell]

Yep, just spent 30 mins and 78 pictures on my tiger barb tank, and I got three pictures that are maybe even close to decent, but not really. Anyway, here's the three that somewhat turned out.

This is my second non-natural tank, hubbie doesn't like the natural look and I had to compromise on two.

are tiger barbs and tin foil barbs the same in attitude? cuz it was easy gettin a pic of all three of my barbs in one snap!

see!

 

[Sorrell]

Well, you're welcome to come take pictures of mine then. I've never had tinfoils, but the tiger barbs never sit still, if they do, another one will nip them.

really?!!!

ooh i just love taking fishy pics

found the best way to do tigers is once the lights go out
they seem to carm down then and dont swim
if you get a dim light so u can see where they are then when take pic with flash you have more chance of getting a clearer shot cause they aint swimming around as much


just took 5 pics
4 were clear
1 was blured due to movement

from the 4 clear 2 was kinda ok but was just quick pics to show what i mean
if i was going for a better pic for site or sommat i`d of took a lot more than 5 shots lol also i never cropped the pic just reduced the complete shot size

well here are the 2 quick pics

 

[Sorrell]

Alright, I guess it's just me then

 

[Sorrell]

Alright, got three better ones

 

[Sorrell]

One more, excuse the algae...I think the otos are on strike

 

[Sorrell]

Last one...Thanks for sticking with me!

your tiger barbs look cute sorrell
do have to admit they are 1 of my favorite fish

they have a bad reputation with a lot of fish keepers due to their fin nipping but they are a great shoaling fish to watch and very very playful

Thanks Richard!
I love tigers, mine are in a species only tank (while aside froms the otos) so they only bother each other. They are so active and fun to watch.

i got a shoal in a tank with a pair of firemouths a red tailed black shark and a chinese algae eater

they all get on great no problems at all except from the algae eater who wants to eat the firemouths so i`m gonna have 2 remove him
