Two shots of the large F0 male...at his "prettiest" just prior to breeding. I'm starting to look at some of these photos as actual "portraits". Both of these photos were taken with three Nikon SB-900 flash units w/ Gary Fong Lightsphere diffusion & two reflectors on tri-pods (one in the back angled forward toward the tank to help but light in the back of the tank...and one on the far let side). The lighting on the bottom of the tank really works great to bring our color and detail. Shots were taken at ISO 100 @ f32 - 1/250th.

Fantastic looking fish

I take lots of pictures of my fish. This F0 pair ofParachromis managuense and was brought back from LaCieba, Honduras several years ago. Not only are they very easy to photograph, but they are also very predictable.

Most often I take thirty or so pictures to get a handful that I like. I had all flash units perfect. This might be the very best series of picture I've ever taken of the pair. As you might imagine, this all stems around the beginning of the breeding process.
