My African Cichlid. Neat fish and the color is beautiful. I'm considering getting a few more in different colors.

My Striped Raphael Catfish (he's nocturnal hunter and I guess a little camera shy)
A very cool fish he's also known as a "talking catfish" he grinds the bones of its pectoral fins whichs makes a crooking sound. Really awesome shocked me the first time I heard it.

Rainbow Shark This is a fish with an identity crisis. He isn't a shark at all, but a loach. And he seems to like to hang out with the Raphael Catfish. Even after moving them to the bigger tank.

And since we're posting insect pictures here's one I took a few weeks ago while out shooting my Vipers

These are very well done. How much of a pain was it to take the photo? Don't fish move all the time? What other fish live in your tank?

Outrider It's been a great ride! Offline --> Posts: 14,302 --> Join Date: Jun 2005	I'll bet no-one else has spotted any of these on a location shoot! This pair were in the park about 3km from our home one morning a few months back whilst my wife and I were out shooting Joe pics.

It took a couple a times to get the shot. Yes they do move all the time, but will do it in one spot. I have two Green Spotted Puffers, an Iridescent Shark (which is not a shark, but a catfish

), a Leopard Pleco (Algae Eater) and a Zebra Danio (had 5, but lost a couple during the move to OH and 1 was eaten by the Raphael Catfish

) I'm thinking of getting a Chinese Butterfly Loach, I'm just waiting for the pet store to say they are cleared to sell.
