what kind of chilid is in the first picture??? I have been trying to find out what kind of fish a bought in december because the fish store owner said it was a blue devil but when i looked it up online it didnt look like mine. Mine has blue strips on its body like urs but he doesnt have as much blue around his mouth (he is young though which might add to it) Also his fins are a blackish color with a rim of orange. does this sound like ur fish in the first pic??? How big do they grow?

Great fish pics! These are better than any website I've seen, what detail!

I see your tank is very clean and minimalist.
Nice!

Hey Soul - how did you get them to pose like that? You've got super model fish in there! I think I've seen that Red Tailed Obliquedin in some of the Victoria's Secret catalogues....

Miss Souls - I'm ready for my close up...

Really nice tank and fish. Are those full grown.

nice pics

 

[SoulFish]

most are getting near full grown, some like the german red peacock still got a little ways to go, these pics are pretty old i may update them soon, been busy lately, as for hte posing, sit infront of your tank for an hour with a camera, hope you can get 1 or 2 decent shots

up close to glass, lots of time, flash, at an angle, down or sideways angle works, luck

let's see a pic of your pleco =)

I bought one a few months ago, but it seems it's a female, as it hasn't grown any bristles =(
