Fantastic as always Mark, the gourami's really suit the tank.
Their great mate. now they've settled in, their great to watch, colouring up each time food enters the tank, or they get 'frisky' with each other.

Incredible photography mate. The details on the fish are particularly awesome!
Jaw-droppingly good!
I always find it bizarre how it takes such skill from someone such as yourself and equipment to make up a lot of what we take for granted of being able to see with our eyes. I find it really frustrating not being able to represent my tank on screen how it 'really' is, the same as my experience I have from looking at it
Mind you shots such as yours are even better then our eyesight with how sharp they are, composure, lighting, artistry etc etc so I'm guessing its more then just 'documentary' photography.
Cheers for showing such lovely photos.
and cheers for saying so Neil.
For me, and for so many on this forum, The internet is our only means of getting our work known.It's my only window into the aquatic world.
It's no surprise that I post so much, too much maybe. I've found though, through doing so, i've managed to get work published in 3 aquatic books worldwide. For me, I just love sharing. Many don't get to see what's in a fish tank, so this is
my way of helping those who don't have the means.
After all, it's what forums are for right?....we'd all be liar's if we said, we posted and weren't too fust about getting responses
This tank is far from my best, but in each tank I do, I try to find at least 2 angles which makes the tank look better than it really is. It's a great challenge. The common suspects in this one are the...fish and lilly's. Even the rocks don't do it for me that much.
I'll keep on pushing, trying harder to improve photographs, I'll keep on pushing, trying to upload even
more images just in the hope that someone, somewhere gets an incy wincy bit of inspiration.
