[Nick Sw]

Nick I am so very impressed! Those photos are absolutely fantastic! I especially like the photo of the WC Chailosi Bee. Is there any chance that you could send me a copy of the raw image file to my email account. I'm not sure if it comes up on my profile but if it doesnt I can send you it in a PM.

I'm pondering with the idea of picking myself up an SLR camera when I go state side (might be cheaper). Do you think that they are worth the money?

Regards

I also recon that you should enter the pic of the Chai Bee into the cichlid-forum photo comp, its up there with the best of them.

 

[Nick Sw]

Will do Tanks, it`s 8 Mb.
I think they are worth the money as it`s something I`m interested in, I think you would definitely get your moneys worth. The only thing to bear in mind is lenses can cost 100`s of pounds as well.
Thanks, I don`t think I`ll enter just yet though.

You have a fish I REALLLY want.

Melonchromis Maingano (Male)

Ferris also has a pic of my top favorite fish I want to get.

Love the pics

btw, why do almost all mbunas have that one yellow spot at the back of the underbelly fin?

I have a spare Male if your anywhere near West Yorks.

150 kb I noticed that Tanks, I think I looked at the settings on the cropped image (They are the same though)

Far from it

I pickup a Melonchromis Johannii that looks similar so maybe he will takes his place
