Awesome Cayse. That tank is really nice too!

CaysE · 10-11-2006, 07:59 AM

Thanks! I will try to get a good shot of a rainbow flaring its fins, but it's not easy. LOL

**fish_doc** · 10-11-2006, 06:46 PM

Great shots. Looks like someone has been playing with their camera and learning all the settings.

CaysE · 10-11-2006, 08:22 PM

It's an old CyberShot, so there wasn't really too much to learn. I can't wait to have a 20D or something similar!

**fish_doc** · 10-12-2006, 08:00 PM

I "Shudder" at the thought of you with a fancy schmancy camera.

**Scuba Kid** · 10-12-2006, 08:02 PM

lol, nice fish_doc.

Great looking shots Casye! That's a sweet tank.

BlackArchFish · 10-12-2006, 08:08 PM

I love those Goo Obos!
They seem like really beautiful fish.

I think you meant "shutter"? LOL

Thanks SK and BlackArchFish! The gudgeons are definitely awesome looking fish. They'd look more brilliant if I had an Eco-complete substrate, but they seem to enjoy blending in to the Flourite.

A funny note about the first pic... I took it shortly after introducing the rainbows into the tank. The rainbow is hiding in that pic, and the gudgeon is flaring his fins taller than I've ever seen before.

CaysE · 10-13-2006, 06:13 PM

Here's a good shot of one of the gudgeons.

CaysE · 10-20-2006, 06:41 PM

I finally got a pic of a rainbow flaring it's fins!

jwalker · 10-20-2006, 07:08 PM

all i gotta say is wow. those are some sweet looking fish and a awesome looking tank

CaysE · 02-17-2007, 12:56 PM

Hey all... it's been a while, but here's a quick update. I've done a fair amount of reorganizing, and have been growing a small forest of java moss on top of the driftwood. I couldn't keep the lily going so that's gone. I trimmed down the wisteria so it's growing close to the floor now. The blyxa is doing well, and the bronze wendtii crypt is probably the healthiest plant in the tank.

AshleytheGreat · 02-18-2007, 11:59 AM

Very cool!

CaysE · 02-18-2007, 05:07 PM

Thanks Ash... a full tank pic:

CaysE · 03-30-2007, 09:05 PM

Here's a full-grown Goo Obo gudgeon. Its coloring is a bit different from the others, but I believe it's still the same species.

Corydora_FREAK · 03-30-2007, 09:11 PM

Fantastic photography Cayse! i love taking aquarium & fish pictures and i must say you take some phenomenal pictures! Great Work!

CaysE · 04-06-2007, 11:09 AM

Thanks! I have to admit, Photoshop does help clean up the pictures a bit.

My camera isn't quite that good.

**Osiris** · 04-06-2007, 11:51 AM

Very nice, hope mine turns out like that, not going so well so far i think i have to remove the powerhead.

Do you get a film on ur surface water in that tank?

CaysE · 04-20-2007, 10:33 AM

When my water specs go out of wack, then yes, I do end up with a film on the surface. The past few weeks have been fantastic though... I finally staved off my ongoing algae problems by dosing far less phosphorous than is recommended, and the water surface seems to have cleared up. I should have some new pictures pretty soon. The java moss looks so much better now.
