Pac-Man · 05-15-2005, 10:06 AM

Pac-Man · 05-15-2005, 03:52 PM

ok lol, i wouldve liked to have seen it

fishfreaks · 05-15-2005, 05:59 PM

nice pics!

Gracie6363 · 05-15-2005, 06:39 PM

as far as what the pics were taken with... Canon 300d (digital rebel).

as far as the tetras being painted... they are not painted, however they are fed colored food at the fish farm to produce the color. I have to admit the color isn't nearly as vibrant as shown in the pics... I am trained in photoshop pretty well and I enhanced their color some for viewing pleasure. lol. They were very vibrant a year ago, but have since faded... but they are still beautiful.

I was told by the fish store person that they were naturally occurring colors, but when I got home I researched them and found links with pictures of them and said some occurred with colored varietys but also were fed these dyed foods. I wouldn't ever buy a fish that was injected with the dye like glass cats or other tetras I have seen. I feel so bad for those fish!

fishfreaks · 05-15-2005, 06:46 PM

if your fish has since lost its color, it was definatly a painted fish, but i see no reason to cause a big fuss, everyone has their own opinions

I am fairly certain a fish that was fed dyed foods will loose its color just as if not faster than a dyed or painted fish. I have had them for abot 1 year and they are faded but not competely white. I just took those pics a month or so ago, but then enhanced the color it photoshop. lol.

I mean even if I found out otherwise I wouldn't get rid of them or anything...

they are family now. lol I think my pink one may be ill or old though. been swimming differently and breathing rapidly. I have observed some of the others do this too and come out of it, so we'll see. Parameters are all great. PH 7.2 Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 temp 78 F

Pac-Man · 05-15-2005, 07:05 PM

looks like a painted whte skirt to me... the ppl at the lfs arent always that knowledgable; those colors are NOT naturally occuring. ****it definetely was dyed, most likely injceted. as far as using food as a method to dye fish, never heard of it. im not saying u should get rid of them though, they are still fish.

**fish_doc** · 05-15-2005, 07:26 PM

Canon 300d

That is what I got. Its a great camera. I have a good mix of lenses for it to. I didn't want to get rid of the lenses for my 35mm so I found a good digital camera where I could keep them.

fishboy · 05-16-2005, 03:44 PM

ok getting off topic lets see some more pictures!

Gracie6363 · 05-20-2005, 05:17 AM

I got my digital rebel a little over a year ago and have aquired 3 lenses for it... 18-50, 28-80, & 70-300. I have a degree in Commercial Photography. My husband is starting to get into photography as well, he is a zoologist and has decided to buy a digital camera. Recently we went to oklahoma and he had a lot of fun with my camera, so he is considering taking over mine and getting a 500mm or larger lens and getting me the 20D. He'd be my hero!

Any how... with this new forum change, doesn't appear that we can post pics anymore, so that stinks. I liked the old style better.

ijedic · 05-20-2005, 06:00 AM

I'm not seeing any pictures? Help?

MyraVan · 05-20-2005, 06:20 AM

I'll try to post a picture of my zebra danios to see if posting new pictures works.

MyraVan · 05-20-2005, 06:22 AM

No, doesn't seem to, maybe I did someting wrong!

MyraVan · 05-20-2005, 06:23 AM

OK, worked this time... But I don't see a way to intersperse text with pictures, only to attach a bunch of pictures at the end...
