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!

Hi all

Here is a few pictures of my new tank ( Jewel 260 litre ), all fish are cichlids, a mixture :D, ( convicts, Firefish, Yellow Labs, aulonocara burgundy blue, ahali ( amazing blue ), Cynotilapia afra and some more...

( Sorry for some reason when i reduced the image sizes, they have gone blotchy )







Thanks
Steve

Good job...
I might suggest doubling the rock, and adding either "lace rock" or stacked "lime rock"/ sand stone" and stack it. (depending on where you live go to a landscape supply company for much much better prices). This will help keep the higher ph needed for cichlids. Also expect the fish to do their own landscaping...

Love this tank. I think I'll make my next tank like this. Do you mind telling me what kind of lighting that is that gives it that blue tint?

lol, I guess the pic is old...I count 35+ in the top pic. I wasn't saying it was bad per se. Just saying it looked like a lot of fish. They must go through a lot of food?
