Man-eating?:bigeyes: :think: :dunno:

As in fish eat man? Not the other way round?

 

[Schmike]

they dont really eat man. just that they feed on anything that falls into the water when hungry.

but not all species are that aggressive.

Good shots on these two! :thumbsup::thumbsup:
The rest I find it a little underexposed :think:

 

[Schmike]

Ya. Was advised to use dark gravel for my photography tank. Already got those. Will try it out soon.

Last 2 shots was taken with the fishes in my main tank.

Looks much better with the dark gravels :thumbsup:

This is a better contrast

 

[Schmike]

thanks to amiidae for his advise. the purpose is so that i can concentrate more on the exposure on the fish itself without having to care about overexposed gravels.

Not only that, the light gravel blends with the fish & that dun make the fish stand out

 

[Schmike]

ya. will have to try out with my dark colored fishes that can fit into that tank to see if it stands out well for them.

Then you should fill half dark & half light gravels in the tank. So when you shoot the light ones, ask them go to studio dark & if you shoot the dark ones, ask them go to studio light............................. :bsmilie: :bsmilie: :bsmilie:
