Congrats.

 

[benihana]

did you take those shots?? WOW!! Very nice. What Camera/lens are you using?? I can not get an infocus picture of my Hooded Fairy Wrasse to save my life!

 

[rocko918]

yes, just took them the other night.

Canon XT (edit) i did not use my macro lens for these shots. Standard lens that came with the camera

i had it on the running man setting (sports or action setting) and just held the shutter down and took 5 -10 shots at a time. Deleted all the bad ones and these are some of the good ones.

yes, amazing pics. Its very hard to get good pics of fish....and to get them as clear as those - congrats, nice work.

[JuniorMC8704]

I just picked up 2 females for my super male this weekend. Ive got 2 or 4 more females coming soon.

Sweet pickup!

nice pics of some beautiful fish!!

very nice Bob....

 

[JuniorMC8704]

a Supermale, or permanent male is a male that no longer can morph into a female.

Generally very large male, and the best coloration.

When having wrasses in pairs, the males produce much brighter colors and display their fins fully entended much more often.

Since the addition of the 2 females, my male i almost always "flashing"

very cool to see.

Sorry for the highjacked thread.

Awesome flames again!

Nice, so i can add more females down the road?

 

[nellahtes]

you can always add more females. i have 6 with my male. im going to be setting up a 300 soon and may try to add another male and some more females.

 

[JuniorMC8704]

tread lightly on the extra male of th same species.

even in a 300 gallon...

Do you have a pic with the harem in one frame?? would love to see it...

i dont have one of them all but i can work on it. its hard enough getting a good pic of 1 let alone 7. as for the other male, if it doesnt work i have another home for him. and right now its just an idea

 

[JuniorMC8704]

I gotcha, i just would hate to have them mangle eachother, and then you have 2 beat down male flames....neither of which would be pretty...

Thats awesome that you have 7...do they school at all?

mine just co-exist, not much more than that. the male keeps a close eye on all the other fish in the tank though...

Heres a couple pics of my male right after i got him

 

[nellahtes]

ok, i just took a few, however they look nothing like juniors. they dont really school,but if i put my hand in the tank they seem to all get together. other than that they roam the rocks and the male keeps them all in check. really not much aggression between them at all.

 

[roshi719]

I still have to make it over there to see those! I'll bring my camera when I come

 

[nellahtes]

that would help since you take much better pics...i just cant seem to get a good one. your welcome anytime morgan.
