Vallisneria Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Wow, he turned out beautifully :drool: How do you take pics to get the flecks to come out so nice. When I take pics of mine I can never capture his flecks as they look in real life. My guy is pretty much just as speckled but he isn't as uniform of a blue. He has more black markings. But I think that is due to him being in a tank with a crazy dominant red empress, so he probably isn't showing his best colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted October 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 You just have to wait until the light is bouncing off of them just right. The other male is darker, and has fewer spots so far, and when they are stressed they do seem to get much darker in overall coloration. Just thought that I would give you an update on your fish.

Slough Shark Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Beautiful fish, good shot too, good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Thanks, i love seeing how my fish have grown up. I guess I haven't been patient enough to get a good shot of my guy. I can get some nice shots of the fish itself as my pheno is a ham and always in front of the camera but I just havent' been about to get his flecks to look their best.

Vallisneria Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Wow just fanstastic! I wish mine wasn't sub dom to my red empress male. Mine has lots of speckles but is dark blue with some black around the face, not the beautiful bright blue yours is. Great pic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD. Posted December 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Thanks Val, hopefully in another 2 yrs or so they'll look like the male in the pic below. :drool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
