novafishy Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Beautiful clear shots Frank! What camera is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fman Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 It's a Konica Minolta 5D - one of the last ones. Sony's bought out KM's camera division, so they'll bring out a dSLR soon, most likely based on the 5D and 7D. I'm still learning - big difference between a dSLR and compact camera.

vwboy53 Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I love your blue acara! How big is he? Mine is a little upset with me for temporarily dividing his tank lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fman Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 Rob I've got 2 males and 2 females. The females are just over 10cm and the males are just under 15 cm. The first shot is of a female (showing breeding colours) and the second and third are of my dominant male. They've paired off and both pairs mate, at opposite ends of the tank (5ft). However, I have a bristelnose and featherfin catfish in with them, so the fry disappear . There's a little bit of agro from time to time, but nobody gets hurt. The females sometimes do the eye-ball to eye-ball thing, and then lock onto each others' lips. The males stare each other down, again, no physical harm done. They're interesting to watch, and when I feed them, they let me touch them. How many do you have? Cheers, Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squidfish Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Good work Frank!!! These shots are showing great exposure, lighting and detail. Seems like your shots are benefiting well from the kit. Cheers Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwboy53 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 How many do you have? ← Hi Frank, Currently I have 2. One male @ around 9cm which is my pride and joy, and a female?? which is around 3cm. I was supposed to get something around 5cm - 6cm from my LFS but they ended up getting small ones. So currently the tank is divided to hopefully allow the female to grow a bit before they are permanently together. It freely swims in both sides (due to egg crate divider) so it's promising, but the male did have a peck at it, probably due to territory. Thankfully my male is no longer upset with me for dividing his tank. He was sulking for over a week! Cheers Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
