Hi,

Thanks for your feedback. More pics coming soon!

The camera is an Canon EOS 450D and I used a HQ Polarised filter to reduce reflection & glare.

Yes Mooks, I am very luck to have them. My friend who I got them off has been in the aquarium indusrty for coming 40 years now, so has alot of contacts, however they do unfortunately come at a hefty price ;)

I started with 24 Demasoni now only 13 :( They're responsible for around 500 or so F1's.

The Msobo's are wild too, but they are much more interested in food, than each other! :)

The Demasoni have been out of the lake for a couple of years now, but they are still timid and hard to get a good shot. The msobos on the other hand were scared for the first 6 months or so now they will ignore the camera flash if it means there is the possiblty of a feed!

Great photos of beautiful fish! The intense blue makes the Electric Yellows look ordinary, still they're awesome as well.

I guess the only critiscm would be that you'd forgotten to scrape the front glass of algae before the shots were taken. I can see the algae in one shot.

Thanks, no I love algae, and so do the fish! But the real reason is this was one of the first tanks I have ever bought and is a very low quality which means it gets algae on it that is near impossible to remove!

Thanks for the feedback.

Nice tank and fish.

I wanted to get a few Eretmodus Cyanostictus, where did you get them from? (Does anyone breed them on the forum?) And what price did you pay?

The Cyanostictus are a great little fish, these guys are german f1 from bayfish(i think) and i paid about $50 a fish(i think)

What do you feed your fish? The colours are nice and deep :thumb

Everything! NLS, white worms, earth worms, maggots, micro worms, live baby and adult brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, sera flora flake, and a bit of shrimp and pea mix. I think the painted black glass also enhances their colours. But I think it gets down to quality of fish. They also get cichlid trace every week.

thanks

So I finally got around to taking a few more photos.

Wild caught Oreochromis Tanganicae, believe me the photos do not do them justice. When growing them together from a small size they have the most beautiful nature. Fry available $75 at 3cm
