Felhad,

For me the secret was a tripod. No matter what I tried with three different cameras, I didn't get what I thought were clear pictures until I put the camera on a tripod.

In retrospect, this makes sense. The closer you zoom so that you can fill the frame with the fish, the more any shake in ...

You could do something with common intake and return lines, and isolate each filter with shutoff valves, allowing independent maintenace and so forth. If you do that, you have to consider the overall system and things like back pressure on the filters, size of the plumbing in order to not restrict ...

I saw some of these Mollies today at one of the LFS. I hate that this is happening. But I'm not sure that I can blame the LFS.

Early on in this thread I mentioned that I found these babies when changing ghe gravel in one of our tanks. Here is a shot of the old gravel, a couple of regular AA batteries and the new tank gravel in the background. You cna see that the old gravel made a good place for eggs to 'hide' and hatch in ...

Thank you very much Emma. And thank you too, everyone who has made all the gracious comments on our fish.

but you'll have to put your own names to them. Try as I might, I cannot keep some of these straight.

Enjoy,

A better look can be had over in the freshwater section. I posted a solo shot of the fish over there. Titled it Farlowella though because I hadn't seen Emma' post.

Sorry the pic is a bit off. I can't get one of bunch to pose, never mind all five of them. And then there are all the other fish in the tank that swim in and out of the frame.

The other photographers who post here must ...
