benfarrow Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 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!

mattyr Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 should try get some full tank shots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennC Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 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.

Foti Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 strong colours in all your fish nice job the mbuna look kinda small then again once your hole tank shot is up it's probably a 10footer :thumbup' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pseudotrop Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yogie Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 What do you feed your fish? The colours are nice and deep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benfarrow Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 should try get some full tank shots? I'd love a few full tank shots, but my tanks are all in rows, only a metre or so apart, so a full shot is outer the question. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

(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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benfarrow Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 What do you feed your fish? The colours are nice and deep 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benfarrow Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 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 Wild caught Ophthalmotilapia boops, started with 7 but they fighting has seen this number drop from 2 boys 5 girls down to 1 boy 1 girl, the remaining boy just doesnt wanna colour up, at least not like the boy he killed. Wild caught Ctenochromis horei, these guys are just on 5cm and are starting to show beautiful colours though i couldn’t catch it on camera. F1 Xenotilapia spilopterus, F1 Meeli - "after a year or so and several spawns with my partner I decided to kill her so I would love another mate, because I have high standards I’m only interested in f1 in the south east qld." F1 Leleupi, Wild caught Fasciatus My young F1 7 bar colony, My young F1 Mpimbwe colony, Wild caught Tropheus Chilanga Another shot of my ... Wild caught Msobo Wild caught Demasoni Thanks for viewing Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
