Freshwater Aquarium Photography This is the photography forum for the FW section. It's a dedicated forum to post pictures of some of the things in our tanks, pics of new additions, as well as for great information exchange, tips, tricks, and overall just discussing cameras and photography techniques of our tanks. Learn all about apertures, f-stops, ISOs, macro, flashes, white balance, and anything and everything else that drives us crazy to get a masterpiece shot. Feel free to show off your tanks in here, and plus its a great way for humble people to nonchalantly have their tanks nominated by the other members for Tank Of The Month. Don't be shy!

Default 5ft cichlid tank
I pulled this tank down (was fully planted) yesterday and moved my maingano colony into it. Added 5 clown loaches.

Will add more rockwork & broken pots when i find suitable ones. Also will be adding some electric yellows at some stage.

But this is it so far

Looks great! I have a community tank, so I'm no Cichlid expert, but when you add the electric yellow's try switching some stuff around. It might help with territory issues that could develop. I've been thinking about starting a tank for Cichlids. How would you reccomend getting started?
