Thats all for now, i don't think 56kers can take much more lol. All of the above were taken with my Canon 300D (Digital Rebel). *PEACE!*

[punkrockfish]

nice pics, wish my digital camera could do that

 

[cbock]

very nice matt!

 

[Orion]

Bah. You suck Matt. Only because you actauly have calvus to take pictures of!

Excelent Pictures. I love the second one of the calvus. And your Red empress is stunning.

Thow some more on anyways. The 56k'ers can figure it out!

I would like to see the setup for your calvus if you've got a tank shot handy.

Cichlid-Man; what is a red empress?

My cousin had bought these africans (supposedly) called jewel cichlids; except I've never seen them before; they look a lot like your empress.

Even more great looking images ... the marcro shots are great. I'd say you got some skills matt .

Heh thanks everyone, lol orion. Hmm tank shot...its nothing complex, just a few rocks and sand....lots of open water to evetually house other Africans.

A full tank shot without flash, a little overexposed but you get the picture.

Me rocking the FREE Petsmart T-shirt infront of the tank *SUPERSMIL (Not that i am supporting Petsmart....but hey a free shirt )

*PEACE!* I'll keep snapping!

 

[Orion]

Heh, thanks.

Is that a standard 55? It looks taller than a 55 to me, but it could just be the picture.

Just wondering what kind of setup you had the calvus in. As of right now Im winning an auction for the Juiles Im looking for(Keeping ALL my fingers crossed on that one), so the calvus will not be far behind. I can pick them up in Ohio, and LFS can get me some bristlenose plecs for around $5 each.

 

[Cichlid-Man]

Yep thats a standard. The stand though is custom built...as well as the canopey so it makes it seem bigger.

Nice, are they the "Midnights"?

 

[Lotus]

Awesome pics

So Petsmart didn't have any thongs to give away?

 

[Cichlid-Man]

All out when i got there Lotus.....had to settle for a T-shirt. I figured i could get a MFT thong and it'd look better on me anyway

Nice pics C-man! Watching the calvus grow is a job for a very patient person.

Obviously you'll be getting more rocks in due course but you might as well pile up what you do have to make them useful.

Nice pics C-man! Watching the calvus grow is a job for a very patient person.

Thanks, and that it is indeed.....its begining to push my limits *twirlysmi

I have about, hmmm not sure...about 20+ more Lbs of that kind of rock outside in a bucket, its just a matter of me getting out there to clean them. *crazysmil

 

[mike the zealot]

nice Matt! I love yawning shots =)

That empress is already stunning, how big is it, and when did it first start coloring up?

 

[dss2004]

Why do fish "yawn" anyway?

 

[Cichlid-Man]

Mike, the Red Empress is about 4". I bought it at that size already colored I plan on getting some more and hopefully setting up a breeding group later.

I guess they yawn just like humans do lol...idk.

 

[Orion]

Yeah they are the 'Midnights'. Less than 24 hours left, im getting antsy now.

Funny thing about the PetsMart thongs. I was able to get one no problem.

 

[Verse914]

Nice shots Matt! You need to post pics more often *BOUNCINGS

 

[Cichlid-Man]

Thanks, i'm no Aaron Alcantar but....

I changed the background from black to blue, i guess i needed a change. It was a hell of a job and i think i like the black better, at least picture wise....but oh well.
