A Rare Glimpse CPDs

[vanalisa]

Please enjoy these pictures of my Celestial Pearl Danios. They're pretty hard to catch in action to get a decent picture.

I got lucky.

Are they shy or very active? They have a nice color, I like the dots

 

[vanalisa]

Love the tank, whats the substrate I would like to find the best looking one for my betta tank.

I guess they used to be called "Galaxy Rasboras."
I named them after The Pleiades star cluster when I first got them. (The Seven Sisters from Greek mythology).
Then the mistake happened...
Now there are 5.
3 males and 2 females.

They are VERY shy.
But I am usually right up in their face to feed them, so? I keep my tanks in The Fish Kitchen.

I can always move the plants aside and look at them, but I leave them alone.

I may move them soon. When I do I will open up the plants a bit. I'm sure they will
be okay viewed from afar.

Thats what they called in my country.

Very nice color and very healthy looking.

Nice. You'll see a lot more of them in a group of 20+

And a strategically place algae wafer helps with the photos

Thanks, this is a great image!
They are really nice looking...
So, I've got a cousin, she's kinda shy and I've been wanting to hook her up, you know,
get her out of the tank.

I'll have to look through my photo gallery.
I started taking pictures of the boxes and bags of everything I use, it makes it easy to reference. I will get back to you on that.

I find that if you video your favorite fish then use something like VLC player to cycle through frame by frame you can capture some good pictures. Here is an example of young males posturing with each other I happen to capture that way. They are now mature have stunning deep orange colors. Sorry for the scratch in the way, I have a very old Acrylic tank.
