Y. modesta - little & large
Following on from one of my previous old posts featuring juvenile and adult of the same species pictured together, here are some photos I took recently of Yasuhikotakia modesta:
Just a bit of fun really, but it is interesting to see the differences side by side.
Here's a link to the same for Botia dario and Syncrossus hymenophysa (scroll down for S. hymenophysa): http://forums.loaches.com/viewtopic.php?t=9620

Thanks all.
I should probably also point out that these fish are for sale! They are specimens from our stock tanks.

Edit: have just been PMd about the big modestas.
Yes, it's one of several different photo tanks I have, and they are all fairly narrow so that there is a greater chance of getting the fish in focus. I am lucky in that I am able to spend time photographing fish after the shop has closed. They are never in these small photo tanks for more than 5 mins, and they are filled with water from the particular system each species is currently living in.bslindgren wrote:BTW is that a special tank you have for taking photos? It seems narrow. Either way, great stuff.

Thank you all for the nice comments. Gary, I use a Nikon Coolpix 8700 and use manual settings that over time I have found work well. The inbuilt flash is the only thing that lets the camera down really. I do have a separate external flash for it, but still haven't managed to get good results with it. I think I probably need more than one flash unit. So instead I have been making do with the built in flash but tend to use bright lighting about 2" from the water's surface. These shots of the Y. modesta just had a standard Hagen Powerglo tube resting on top of the tank, but for other fish that don't mind bright lighting I use a TMC Aquaray unit which is quite intense.
