Thanks everyone B)

Raven, I use a Canon G3 digital camera, which is now discontinued and has been replaced by the G5, they might even have a G6 now? In Edmonton a good place to go camera shopping is McBains. Some London Drugs also have good photography departments.

Valerie, I don't have any recent pics of the Ocellatus, I tried taking pics of the young ones, but got impatient with them as they wouldn't stop moving.

Well that usualy happens with cichlids :angry: they dont stop moving.lol.. It is hard for my to get a good pic of my female ram bacause the male always chases her. Its tough i find feeding works because they stop moving to "chew" and you can get a good shot them if you are not picy about the "perfect" picture. :D good luck.

I was doing some research on Bristolnose plecos because i was one or two in my discus tank and it appears the Bristolnose pleco has a look alike. The Starry night pleco has 2 rows of "bristols". One on the bottom of the head and one on the forehead. The one on the forehead is in a "v" shape like yours. The True Bristol plecos their entire nose is full of bristols. Here are some links:

They are in the same family but not the same fish. Just thought u might have wanted to know.

Molino: the fish look great. Your camera does great justious .

MPO - it is the operator/hobbiest who makes the outcome so pleasing.

Both the pics and the fish are incrediable!

Keep up the good work. B)

Thanks Smokey! You may have noticed she's got a scratch on her face right underneath her eye. Her and the male got a little rough. That happens from time to time.

Ryan, thanks for the info, but I don't think mine is a Starry Night pleco. Although the Starry night/Starlight (L183) pleco sounds interesting. Looking at www.planetcatfish.com they all seem to have white dots and a white edge to their tail and dorsal fin.
