nice tex i love american cichlids

nice shot

How do you and most others on here get such crisp pic's?
I'm using a 6mp Fuji and never quite get the same result!
Is there a trick i'm missing?

You have to experiment. Try with the lights out. lights dim. Try your different settings on your camera too. It's hard to get a perfect pic sometimes. Make sure your glass is clean too. Your camera will actually focus on the water spots and streaks.

He's unique looking.

Matt, i aim the camera at a particular place in the tank then wait for the fish to stop there. i watch them alot so i know where they like to hang out. i also angle the camera slightly so i don't get reflected glare. the hardest part is keeping my arm and hand still.

How long did it take him to get that big???
