[raymond]

that harlequin is amazing that is a good quality picture, every time i see one of those fish i want to invest in a fish only tank, but i know it would never work out

 

[secretreefer]

haha yeah no ways fish only. that would be impossible for me....although i could have an awesome collection of angels...............

Very nice Secretreefer! That Harlequin is a stunner for sure! Does it bother your corals?

WOW i have never seen a hawk fish like it almost looks like he has a beek.

I saw the harlequin pic and did a sort of "oh snap that''s a nice pic!" but honestly, the other pics are almost better, just not of a fish with as many colors as the 'quin- Awesome pics all the way around!

Very Nice Shots! I like the anthias, they are hard to keep up with with a camera sometimes.
If I may offer a couple suggestions?
If you place a mirror on the side of the aquarium for a few moments while you are photographing the fish will react to their reflection as if there territory is being invaded. They will throw up all of their fins which will make a nice display. I have done this but I don't like to keep the mirror up too long as it does stress the fish. Also you may want to put black electrical tape over the "Canon" logo on the camera to keep the reflection out of the glass. I can see it especially in the Evansi and the Squareback Anthias image. I hope that you don't take offense they are really great shots. I just wanted to share some ideas.
