Pics of My 10 gallon tank

[bananas]

I'll keep adding pics here that I want to share. I love taking pics of my fish.

thats all of them crowding around a new piece of boiled squash I put for them





you can see the golden chinese algae eating catfish sucking on the side of the tank, plus a snail




the red one is really nice looking, and thats a female following him, but in my tank males follow the females, and sometimes they fight about a particular female. It's like a soap opera in there.




the first time our little snails laid eggs. i got to see them mate and woke up early the next day to watch the female depositing the eggs! exciting
unfortunately we don't have enough room for 200 apple snails in our tank, so they lay em every once in a while and we have to remove them.






I thought this one looked nice with the pregnant female poking its head out.





these two seem to like each other. its cute





The golden chinese algae eating catfish (its not chinese, and its not a catfish, and it doesnt always just eat algae, but o well).
aka "the sucky fish"





every time a snail makes it somehwhere high up the fish like to poke at it until it falls, it's kind of sad, but when all the fish sleep the snails wake up most so they get their privacy



awww he's gonna fall off now.




i already showed a cropped version of this image, but it was really good and i had to show the whole thing. This baby's new, he's real tiny, had to put the cam on best best quality.





that's it for now.
taking pics is basically my favorite part of having fish.

aww i love how colorful the tank is!! looks good...but the pics were to big for my screen

[bananas]

thanks whoever resized them, didnt know they were that big lol. I was just using windows pic and fax veiwer so they looked small

[fishfreaks]

cool pics, whats the name of that white snail? i never liked snails, but i like that one!

[bananas]

it's an apple snail, snails are the best part of the tank i think

My sister named him staple because it looks like his shell has 2 staples on it, but it's just sort a marking.

Your fish are pretty! Good quality pics too! I especially like the shot of the little baby

[gate113]

yeah nice pics. I like the baby...and the pic where the two plattys are like a couple. The snail eggs creep me out.

[bananas]

got a great shot of him with his inhalant siphon extended!

[fishfreaks]

awesome! do they eat plants?

[bananas]

yes they do, but those are fake plants. They a lot of algae. And if they're nice they get a piece of half-boiled squash. thats the best because te fish, snails, AND catfish all love the squash

Nice and colourful tank Bananas! I used to have several apple snails but had to get rid of them as they make a lot of mess and tend to pollute the water. One thing you might be interested in is that the eggs are almost always sterile, no eggs that my snails laid over the course of a year ever hatched. At one time I had about 7 apple snails, some betta's and bristlenose catfish in a tank and I spent the majority of my time watching the snails, they are quite peaceful and majestic, very relaxing to watch. Also, mine never ate the plants (they're not really renouned for that) however they ate my catfish's algae tabs! The fish had to get in real fast or go hungry! Good luck with it all!

[bananas]

fishfreaks you dont have to keep editing my images, i'm making them smaller now. and the spacing between them i put for a reason.







and yes, the snail is rather awesome

[fish_doc]

Nice clear water and bright colored tank. Looks good

[fishfreaks]

actually, on my screen 4 of them were big, so i made them smaller

[bananas]

well that's just your screen, it may look fine to you but now its super small to me and probably anyone else.

Nice clear water and bright colored tank. Looks good

yea but all my stuff is artificial, the plants, the rocks, etc.
is that bad?

From a web development site:

There is a definite trend in monitor design to go from screen resolutions of 800 x 600 pixels to screen resolutions of 1024 x 768 pixels. Five studies of screen resolutions were reviewed. Two of the studies reported that the largest number of users (53%) were using screen resolutions of 800 x 600 pixels (27% were using 1024 x 768). However, three of the studies reported that the largest number of their users (43%) were using screen resolutions of 1024 x 768 pixels (only 24% were using 800 x 600 pixels). Only about 7% of users are using 640 x 480 pixels, and about 13% are using higher resolutions (1280 x 1024, 1600 x 1200, etc.)

These numbers give you a idea on when trying to size a photo what you should shoot for. Now remember that is the screen resolution so you want to size things to fit within those screens. Also keep in mind many people are on older windows software that does not resize the photos that show up. Me for example I run Win98SE on one computer WIN2000 on another and WINXP on a third. And all three get used pretty much the same amount of time. My wife teases me because sometimes I will be online with two computers at once. (OK im a mega geek)

hey then my pic size was fine in that case, the biggest ones were maybe around 800-600
