A decent picture of a fish!

Are those betta pictures any good? Are they too dark? They look good on my laptop, but it has sorta wierd screen. It's hard to tell if the picture is too dark or not

They look great from here.

BOTM for that first picture of Karkki. His colours are so vibrant... amazing

Thank you. I was so worried because I got that camera for the first time when I took those pictures and I don't understand much of its features

Thanks for the nomination, I bet Karkki wouldn't stand a chance against all the new bettas. But well, we are here for educational purpose only, not to show the best finnage

I really should start checking the pictures with my old computer with a normal screen. I don't even know what angle (90 degrees?) is meant to show the right colors in this one.

I bet I'll be blushing the whole day. Thank you for your kind words =)

And no. He lives in a tank with dwarf puffers. The puffers are slow, but they aren't stupid, so they will live in higher parts of the tank. I am monitoring the situation since the aquarium is next to my bed And all of them are behaving nicely and not trying to eat each other. Crayfish babies will be eaten by the puffers, of course.

You have taken some amazing pictures. I love the mummy mummy can i pose one and the one of bluey she looks so vibrant. I really like your plants pics as well.

Wish my camera did that

Thanks =)

Some time ago I was really bad with cameras, none of the pictures were sharp. But then I realised why. I wanted to show the fish, plants or whatever to people but I didn't care much about the quality of the picture. It was just a way to show my beautiful ones to others.

Then I just got interested in the pictures too and I didn't just aim and shoot anymore. Taking pictures became one of my hobbies and the pictures have gotten gradually better. I still have to take dozens of pictures to get some good ones. But that's just the way it is. I don't see myself as a good photographer, I am just persistent

This is the danger of being an aquarist. The hobby grows and grows and you will soon notice that you have a house full of aquariums, you try to learn more chemistry, you have lots of cameras, you have your own website with lots of pictures of your fish and you speak latin

I was being dead serious

It is really hard to take a picture of Karkki's bride. She is a bit temperamented and never stays still for too long.

One of my shrimps had babies today.
