fattythecatty Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 You've heard it all before. Slowly but surely I've been setting up my 4fter. Last weekend the final occupants went in, my 3 clown loaches. Well, the loaches met the Tiger Barbs (never been in the same tank before).......... instant best friends, oh, the fun they are having, have never seen my lovely loaches so outgoing and happy. The barbs aren't bothering anyone even tho' there are 2 Angelfish in there. My Serpaes are the most beautiful shade of red I've ever seen them and they're not bothering anyone either (except each other :roll: ) and the tank is just so active. I've been watching it for hours. Reminds me just why I love fish. Anyway, just thought I'd share. Tracey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fattythecatty Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 The only problem I'm having is getting any decent pics of the tank :evil: , any tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesejawa Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 um dont use flash, dont take photos of the the tank directly on. its not really that hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Photograph at night with all curtains closed and room lights off. Have as much light on the tank as possible. Use the flash on the camera but on a slight angle to avoid flashback. Sit the amera on something solid or use a tripod to keep it as still as possible. Remember for every 100 pics you take, about 3 will be good :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DantezGirl Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 hey henward what monsters have you got in community tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fattythecatty Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 most of my fish are bottom or mid level dwellers, the Angels ahve the top level to themselves. I'm wondering if I should add anything else to that level or leave the Angels to rule the roost. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
