Here's the male.

When I set up the lighting he was on the other side of the tank...and gave a big old yawn. I thought, crap....I wish I had lighting there and then. Most often I take a bunch of photo with different lens. I just happened to have on the 105mm macro lens trying to get close ups of his awesome finage....when all of a sudden he yawned. Bingo. Great shot.

My computer was down for a two weeks....graphic card blown. I was using my back up computer and it really slowed down my work flow. Just got it back up and running....and have a back log of photos.

Here's the same Managuense as in the last few photos. The big difference with this photo is that the fish is lit both top and from the bottom with flash units. Two on top, one on the bottom. The trick here is to get just the right amount of light from the bottom flash. This photo nailed it. It really shows the beautiful coloration on top and bottom.

Another....I get the fish to do this by throwing one pellet of food in the tank, stepping back and taking the picture.

Going round and round with the female (you can see her behind the male) getting read to breed.
