Default Anyone into tropical fish??? My new Discus pics inside

I had a tank a few years ago but it was far too small and the water was too hard to keep right so I have now bought a 4ft tank and have started keeping discus again. I have these three for about three weeks now and they are superb. I did have four but lost one, not sure how as all the water params are spot on. I hate it when I lose them as they are great pets.

Anyway heres a couple of piccies.







enjoy

I set my iso to the highest which for my camera is 1600. I also have a large lense on my camera which meant I could sit further back and wait for them to pose...lol

The key is the larger the iso the quicker it is to take a picture, hence fast shutter speeds with no flash. Not the best for poaster sized prints but great for piccies.
