My Buddy's Puffer - 11-16-2011, 07:32 AM

Critique: NC:

I have a friend who is a master fish tank builder. He doesn't literally build the tanks (though he could) but I mean he builds the ecosystem for the fish to live in. If I was ever to have a large 150+ gallon setup, he'd be the guy I call to get it going and make it look farking beautiful. Because he is so anal-retentive about keeping his tanks clean, they are a pleasure to shoot in.

Here's a puffer he has in a 100+ gallon tank.

Great shots, hope #4 & 5 were feeders?

They feed him live crawfish. Only one, once per day or two, depending. Curious little guy. He'll follow you if you walk back and forth infront of his tank.

Cool shots. Did you use a CP to avoid glare?

Thanks, y'all.

I think I had the UV filter on the 24-70, but that's it. Used the light from the in tank lighting my friend has setup.
