These are my flatmates fish. This is the result of a rainy day and nothing better to do

I cant believe how long I had to sit and how many shots I had to take before I got a half decent one. My flatmates gone away for a few days so I thought I would replace the fish with a trout from the river behind our house

It was well worth the wait, Thomas. I know how difficult it is to take shots of fish in an aquarium. The colors are really great. How did you light the scene?

Thankyou. The tank has an internal light plus I shone a bedlight from the top right.

Been there and done that! It is NOT easy!!! You got a great one though!! I OTOH have not had much success... my fish are too fast!

lol....yes these were too. It wasnt helped by the pump in the tank that blows the fish round in circles at a pretty steady rate! Unfortunatley the black one went belly up shortly after the photo was taken, think he was fed up with the current and he couldnt fit inside the log (eyes were to big)

Nice shot! It's too bad about the blown out reds though...

But wait...a little photoshop magic to recover some details! Simsalabim-eyeofnewt POOF!

Nice - I recently took a bunch of aquarium shots and very few turned out - a job well done in difficult conditions!
