patrick Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Xystichromis sp. "Dayglow". I got some very nice fry of these that are 1.5"-2" with males coloring. Mbipia lutea, Yala swamp. This is a melanistic male. He is not supposed to be blue so I don't use him for breeding. I was going to sell him since he would be a great candidate for a mixed tank but I kind of like him so he stays, for now. A tiny Xystichromis sp. "Flameback" fry that just left her mommys mouth. Paralabidochromis sp. "Redfin piebald" only 1/2". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slough Shark Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 I find myself returning to this post to look at that second pic of the Mbipia lutea. You really achieved a very natural look with this Patrick, it's definitely one of your better shots, or at least one of my favourites.

The pictures of the dayglow and the lutea were taken with a shorter depth of field than usual which blurs the background and lifts out the fish more.
