MoliroMan Posted May 8, 2005 Author Share Posted May 8, 2005 Thanks guys for all your kind words! Still trying to take the perfect photos!!!! Will post some more when i get the hang of it! In case your wondering? Description of Photos from top to bottom: 1. My new 4 foot 450L (incl. mini reef) curved tank custom made by Xtreme Aquariums! - my 38 strong ilangi F1 colony (from Jim) thank u for their new home! - water clarity achieved by mini reef, 2 Eheim Prof II 2028, 18 watt Coral life UV clarifier and purigen. Most importantly 50% weekly water changes! 2. Close up of the ilangi colony - they r now handfed to avoid food getting down the weir 3. Another close up - fiddled with photoshop, looks a bit oversaturated! 4. Ilangi extreme close up. I don't think this one is holding but most likely holding its breath. Still too small to be breeding! 5. Golden Kazumba - see the gold markings on the cheek!!! 6. Ikola showing off its colours. 7. Eretmodus cyanostictus juvenile loves the Texas Holey Rock! 8. Julidochromis Regani from Nigel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Nice photos Dave you will have to come and give me some lessons. As I take lousy photos. If your interested I have 3 variates of gobys on the way all wild caught. So let me know if your interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Awesome shots mate, when i see pics like these I am very tempted to take the dive into Tropheus. Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoliroMan Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 Parrdog....haven't heard from u for a long while. Give me a call if u want to come over and check out the new tank and pic up the rocks!!! Nigel....i am still learning how to take good pics. Luckily we have digital photography now so we can afford to make mistakes without burning through film! I have recently purchased a Canon Digital SLR 350D camera with a 17-85mm lens. It is not the best for macro shots so i am waiting for my macro lens to arrive. Hopefully with my new toy, my pics will be even better. What variants of goby cichlids are you getting? Any pics? Can they be kept in the same tank without interbreeding? I might be interested in some so keep me posted! Daniel K.....they r far from perfect shots and u know it!!!! Anthony....i think u should take the plunge and join the Tropheus gang! We never regretted it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinky Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Hey moliroman....if you dont mind im taking your 4th pic (the one with the illangi close up) and setting it as my wallpaper. lol......even if you do mind, thats too bad, cause its already my wallpaper........ Thanx mate slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoliroMan Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 Slinky, i think i will have to charge u for that!!! I am sure u can find better wallpapers to use. And i think no picture is as good as the real thing so call up Jim and do yourself a favour and start your own Ilangi colony...u won't regret it ( i guess your wallet will though!!! ). When i get my macro lens i will try to post some better pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trofius Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 sensational pics of even nicer fish! i wish the camera and I could produce images of those caliber, so all can see the real beauty of my lil guys! Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoliroMan Posted May 14, 2005 Author Share Posted May 14, 2005 Thanks for the compliment mate! I think very often it has nothing to do with the camera but everything to do with the subject. Tropheus r damn difficult to take a photo of because they never stay still! I challenge anyone to take a good pic of a Tropheus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
