serkan Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 3rd Pic looks to be a pseudotropheus of some kind. I can't quite pick it with the black surrounding it. I think it's making the photo more dark then it actually is. 4th Pic has HITH. Has some orange spots too. HITH is very common in oscars, and I think that's what your 4th pic may be.

laurie Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Are we looking at the same fish or am I going out of my head? the fish in the 3rd and 4th pics is the same fish isn't it? but can't tell from the darkness of the photo, the colouring of the face however could be a juvenile zebra long pelvic. although im pretty sure you would know if you had bought one of these???? 4th Pic has HITH. Has some orange spots too. HITH is very common in oscars, and I think that's what your 4th pic may be. I think the Hole in the head you are referring to is actually the fishes sensory pits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serkan Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 You might be right. But here. Have a look: http://www.flippersandfins.net/HITHarticle2.htm Thye many even be the same fish. It's hard to tell when fish is the plural of fish. So you can't tell if he's asking for an ID on fish(plural) or a fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuong Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 It's the same fish and nope it's not hole in the head. Sensory pits are symmetrical when viewing anteriorly. The first couple of shots are great Matty. If I was going to be super picky, I'd say you could avoid some of the hotspots and that moody gradient lighting (ie bright on the dorsal and darker on the ventral, although it looks good in some shots) by positioning the flash a little more forward between you and the fish.

serkan Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Thanks obsessed. All you do is quote everything I say and put some stupid emoticon on it. Sorry for trying eh? I think your right Cuong. I don't often observe fish from that view. There's this thing though called light constantsy, where the colour around something actually changes what we percieve to be the colour of the thing we're looking at. The black background just made it alot harder for these fish to be identified. Thus pictures 3 and 4 look different to me. Anyway, I said that the fish in picture 3 looked like a pseudotropheus, but I don't think it's a zebra long pelvic. It doesn't have that blueish' tinge that ZLP's do and it's a lot darker then them too. (possible as a result of the black background) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuong Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Btw how much do those batterys cost roughly. 2CR5.. Here I was thinking I was gunna put a couple of double A's into it.. Buy them off ebay, works out to be around $6-7ea instead of the $12-20ea that some stores sell them for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share Posted March 24, 2007 Oh, by the way Lepperfish, you need a 2CR5. Am I too late?? I forgot to mention it because I had a spare one lying around when I first got the ST-E2. serkan, it's not an oscar - I think I'll just leave it at that Everyone else, Thanks for the comments - I know that pics 3 and 4 are a bit dark, but I thought the perspective of the fish was quite unique in each photo, ie. the head on shot and I've never managed to capture a fish in mid-yawn before. Schmuck, I know what you mean by positioning the light over the fish better, but when taking these pics, it's just hit and hope that the fish is directly under the light (which is sitting stationary over the tank) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
