2 New Girls

[Cichlid-Man]

Well went to the LFS and made an Impulse buy...

I came home with 2 hot new girls!! Woo hows that for an LFS visit haha. I picked up 2 young Female Red Empress (at least at this point they are looking to be females.), hopefully to make full use of the big nice male i have already. They are about half his size but it should be ok. They look great and are already eating 10mins after being in the tank. Currently he is chasing them, i guess he is ready to breed He is flaring, dancing, chasing....oh man i can't wait!

Hopefully this also gives my deep water haps (that are currently dancing) a chance to do their thing on the other side of the tank.

Incase ya'll forgot....here is the male .

Excellent Empress! Such a gorgeous male deserves the company of a few fine ladies .
Makes me want to go out and make a few impulse purchases of my own! *BOUNCINGS

Thanks, i hope i chose good ones that are acctually females. At this point i think they are. Still small though so we'll have to wait and see.

Cichlid-man I can't believe how beautiful your male red empress is, are they hard to find?

How do you take such great pictures...

I just bought a polariod izone 300... and my pics look bad.
Ive not had good luck getting my pictures to turn out very good with it.
Even the good lighting ones, look out of focus.
Maybe this camera just sucks...

 

[Cichlid-Man]

I don't consider the first a great picture

Sorry Tigerbarb, didn't see your post till now. I find them pretty easily. I know local breeders and the LFS carries them a good bit.

Exevious, just keep trying and learning your camera. You're new to that camera and just need to get the hang of it. Good thing is, is that its Digital so snap all the pics you want and then delete the ones that are bad! No film wasted! I know when i started with my Digital Rebel that i couldn't focus or get the lighting right.
