Not sur eif this is the right area, sorry if it isnt.
Tank shot fish.
Here are some shots of my Fish.
I since started feeding them krill as a snack
at night before I crash out, or turn there lights off.
I feed them wardley pellets through out the day,
and Krill at night.
They have been on them for about a week,
you can tell the difference, IMO. There getting a little brighter.
Or maybe its the beers...








comments welcome.

i think they would look a lot better if you could just light the fish, and not the background. try turning the flashes outward a bit so only the very edge of the "flash beam" catches the fish and use a very high f-stop to help to not get the background. maybe a black background could help to. other than that, the pics look good. the first one looks especially sharp.

Fish don't need to eat that much. As a rule, I never fed my fish when I turn off the lights cause once you do, their appetite decreases. However, when sunrise happens, they went nuts. It sounds like you're almost over feeding them.

The last shot is the best. :) I have never seen a yellow-orange Oscar...all green/purple flavors.
