Thanks Graeme! I'm glad to hear that the V. maassi's are doing so well. Lovely photos you've been taking lately too, you will have to let me know what settings you are using these days. :wink:

I was curious about the use of oak leaves in your tank. Do you use green or dried leaves? I was going to ask you about the effect on the pH until I read the pdf. It seems they don't mind acidic water.

Hi Jim. I'd suggest using the dried-up, old brown leaves that accumulate under the trees. They become sturdier i believe, last longer under water. They also hold a tropical look when brown. They tend to curl a little bit and make lots of hidey holes and caves/tunnels for the pangio's. Martin's Pangio pic, explains a lot. Looks superb if you have the time. :)

Emma, do you have your settings at hand? It would be interesting to compare them with my camera.

Using the flash for the first time shooting fish. The Maassi didn't seem to mind to much. :wink:

Thanks Graeme. I hope to be nosing around a little more after the holiday's and such.

Hey Mark, how about this: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 1081918945

You will have to download Google's videoplayer to view. I think you can download it from the link I posted. My apologies on the quality of the video, it was one of the first times I shot video with this camera. No tripod either. :? I had this upload to Google for months and could never get it verified by them. Deleted it, uploaded again and whata ya know!

Graeme, FYI, you may want to download the Google videoplayer again.
