Minx Got A New Camera - Added More Pics Lol

[minxfishy]

So new camera arrived today (finally after months of waiting to have enough money) and Ive spent literally minutes playing around with it, of course the fish had to be photographed, heck its the whole reason for the camera. So bear with me, as there is a lot, I wont post them all, because you would die of boredom Im loving the macro mode, just gotta spend a few weeks reading the instructions so I can get better shots.

Rio 400 & inhabitants:

And, my newest fish, Iggy, Senegal Birchir

Roma 125, Breeding Thorichthys Aureus and fry:

very nice tanks and inhabitants1 love the Thorichthys Aureus, very beautiful fish, with their hundreds of babies!
i do want a couple of cichlids for my 240 liter, they are really nice, what is their temperament like?

Thanks, the aureus are very placid fish, except when spawning, then they are very territorial.

yaaaay looking good minx,stunning tank's healthy fish,great pics and iggy bigger than i thought he would be,looks just like mine
saw him in first pic

 

[minxfishy]

Yeah he's about 5", is the pink colouration on the tail normal? Looks a little infected to me? Been doing w/c to try and heal him.

He is not as shy as I thought he'd be and eating like a real piggy now

i envy your stocking and your amazing fish
i got a rio 300 and decided it would be easier to keep a community of neons, angels, platies and so on (big mistake) i want cichlids now i cant wait till i can get a new tank and fill it with large cichlids

i havent seen any of your previous pics, i dont think, but these certainley look good

Just a tip:
set the ISO lower to get rid of the noise, although it does handle well at ISO1600. I bet at 800 you hardly any
My camera shows the levels of noise you are getting at just ISO400
thanks

 

[Davo86]

Great pics Minx, fish are coming along nicely,
Iggy is a great addition too

 

[minxfishy]

Noise? OK, now Im confused, but I will fiddle with the ISO settings, is lower better then?


Edit: So just googled it and I see what you mean

LOOKS like you have been having fun with your camera..

what kind of wood is that and where did you get it from. love the design of it.

 

[minxfishy]

The wood is redmoor root (the long spindley pieces) and mopani wood, all sourced from various shops, net and members on here

 

[superman1]

cool looks good.. i remmember when i collected that small tank of you i fell in love with your tank and i went out n brought a 4ft tank.. lol

am currently changing it from sand to black gravel but am trying to source decent looking wood.

its hard cause most sites will not show u exact pic but tell you what size it will be.
