Few pictures of clowns at feeding time

Post by Ashleigh » Wed Mar 21, 2007 3:33 pm

Few pictures of the babies at feeding time, the 'adults' are so much harder to photograph :roll: all I got was a tail or a few fins :lol: anyway here are some of the clear pictures, just starting to get into this whole photography thing, not as easy as it looks :lol:

You would think by now that they would have learnt to share

Awesome photos Ashleigh! You have some cute fat little piggies there :lol:
That last photo is particularly interesting from an anatomical point of view.

Wow, really good shots. You can see the barbels really clearly. I like that 2nd shot with the odd looking pattern on your baby loach. What type of discs are those?

The pellets are Tetra Tabimin, they seem to prefer these over any other dried food that they get for some reason.

I have no idea :lol: luck maybe? The camera is a Lumix DMC-FZ50K if thats of any help? Like I said, Im only really starting to get into photography now, sorry for the lack of knowledge :oops:

Stumpy just came like that. It was completly healed over when I got him, exactly half his tail missing, not to sure if it was a birth defect or an old injury :?

Wow! in pics 2,3 and 4, some of the loaches look like their ocular spines are ready to stab, just below the skin, or maybe I'm crazy. (the latter is more likely.)

Hi loachmom. Hi loachmom. Just kidding! :lol:
