Great pics George, I really need to get a macro. I agree there also a little gaudy for me I don't see why people prefer these seletivly bred types, the wild ones are much more beautiful IMO.

I have a 1000d with the 18-55mm and have been very impressed with it for an entry level slr, however I find the kit lense a little frustrating for taking photos of my fish and tanks. I'm saving for a macro lense so as mentioned earlier best to try and get some better lenses than body

I've just brought my first slr and got a 1000d, and would highly recommend it. Its probably the cheapest new slr out there with a bit of searching mainly e-bay you can find them for around £300. But you could get and better model second hand if you'd prefer.

Here a a couple of photos of some emersed Plagiomnium i brought from Aquatic magic a couple of months ago I tied it to a piece of wood in my 50g tank but all the growth below the water stayed a nasty dark green and didn't put on any growth i have now removed this, but there were a couple of...
