New pictures with a better camera!
Got these using an 8 Megapixel, although the quality still sucks on a lot of them =/ I'll admit, I had no idea how to use the camera, i'm sure there was some close-up setting I had no idea how to use
Heres a pic of part of their tank
Heres the whole tank, I really hate to have to put it on the ground, but I couldn't fit a stand in here =/
Their hiding cave:
They love to crawl through the holes in this fake Raptor skull I bought on sale at the LFS, and they use the moss as a hammock!
This is not a very good picture, but the left Pectoral on this one seems very small. All of it's other fins, and the 3 other Dojo's fins all look fine. Can it just possibly be a stumpy fin?

Beautiful loaches! Are they golden dojos? I love Misgurnis Aguillacaudatus (did I spell that right?). I also spy the pictus catfish, they are fun, but painful fish to catch! And the only audibly growling fish I've ever seen. The tanks looks like a lot of fun for those dojos.
I'm guessing the small fin in question is just stumpy. I know sometimes fish will have slight but completely negligible deformities like that that are just due to growth. It's difficult to tell from the shot (no apologies necessary, I totally understand) but that's my assumption.

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 the camera is noticed.
Try putting your camera on something solid, and I bet you will get shots that you like a lot.

Thanks a bunch, i'll probably put more pictures up in a few months as these guys grow. They are Golden Dojos Icewall, and they're a lot of fun. The Pictus seems happy too, but he loves to grab their food and run off with it! They love to sit on the leaves and all over the fake skull, and i'm looking forward to a good long time with these guys.
