Caryl Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I can see why people love plecs. Pity most of them hide so much :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrudd Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 I am new at this hobby and just have a question about the above pics. Is it ok to hold them like that outside the water for a pic? Only time I hold my fish, is when I have to burry them after removing them from the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firenzenz Posted February 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 I wouldn't recommend this practice to inexperienced fishkeepers. Also note that this is done with plecs which can happily be taken out of water for a minute or two, but there are particular ways to hold them whilst doing so. I wouldn't suggest anyone try this method with their favourite tetra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatfish Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 I wouldn't recommend this practice to inexperienced fishkeepers. great shots firenznez. I have taken a number of pleco shots this way. It works well and you get some nice shots but I have also had my mustard spot pleco jump out of my hand and smash the tips of the end of the tail (they grew back). the other way of doing it thats less risky is to get a photo tank (mines 30x20x18cm). Then fill it with water from one of your tanks thats as clear as you can get it, place a good light source over the top of it (from one of your tanks) and get a reasonable point and shoot digital camera and take heaps of shots (you can always delete them later).
