Yes it is a good idea. I regularlly do that. Expecially all the mulm I pull up from the gravel, seems to give the plants a nice boost. I also have plants in my tanks, and I fertilize them regularlly, so there is a little more in my water. Keep in mind, the primary nutirent that will be present is ni...

While I agree, that would be a good look, it will be even more important that he nails the focus on the eyes. With a moving target like them, it is exceedingly difficult to focus where you want, and more often you get it somewhere else:) Aesthetically I agree completely, practically, it will yield v...

Mark, that is an excellent shot. I love the color and the composition is good. To bad he wasn't looking towards the camera. It is clear, well lit and the color balance is perfect. Do yourself a favor and bump up the aperture a couple stops. If the flash has the power, shooting at f11 will give you m...

Leave the bottle in the tank for a couple days if need be. Give them time to get used to it, and maybe they will become trained to go in there looking for food.
