Some of my favorite pics are of people's leopards so I figured there should be a thread for them. So let see em.
 
Brett, Here are some pics of our Leopards...

Male M. bipartitus (check out those fangs, LOL):




His Ladies (sorry, not the best quality pic, but hard to get both in the same shot):


And a couple of shots of our female M. kuiteri:




 
Nice leopards, I have 3 in my cube. Will post pics in the morning when they come out
 
Beautiful wrasses M&T. Bump for more Leopards.
 
I have 3, a male meleagris, a female potters, and a female negrosensis. I can't get a good pic for the life of me I've tried. M & T your kuiter's is beautiful.

More pics, if you guys wanna share some info/tips Id love to hear that too. M&T /Brad, please feel free to tease me some more with the kuiters shots.
 
My M. bipartus... may take couple days till you finally see it but once acclimated does very well, at least in my experience

M. bipartus is still one of my favorites. Here's a shot of my babies still in QT.

Brad are the color differences between our Potters male vs. female. Im assuming mine is female.
 
Your color is different because she is very young and hasn't been in an aquarium for a long period. As it gets older the color will change. Mine is a big female. Like other leopards, you can really tell the difference between female and male, their faces and markings change quite a bit.
 
Thanks Rev.

Brett, This also goes for your female Kuiter's. She may be an adult female, but she hasn't been out of the ocean for long, as she matures in your aquarium, her colors will change a bit also. This happens to most fish, they lose their "brilliance" somewhat.
 
Thanks, it's like they darken up a bit, still very beautiful though.

Here is a picture of my Potters wrasse, it's not the best angle. I just tried to take another picture, but she won't hold still, so I gave up. How do you guys get yours to pose so nicely for the camera? :tongue:
