Hey clunk anyone that takes pics of moving fish will tell you it is very difficult. You also are getting blur from camera movement I try to take pictures from a tripod to minimize shake. Always remember that practice makes perfect. LOL

That is a type of Austrailian Rainbow Fish right?? I love em.
The pics look good
My wife is the photographer of the family, I just can't sit there in the dark and take photo after photo, like she can.

When Bundy and Rob were posting, it was active in my mind. And I vaguely remember thinking of it once in the past. But not too many of our Aquariums stock local fish. Then again, you can go out and catch them for yourself.

Although I know there is a Native Aust. Fish group somewhere about here in Melbourne. I have one of their newsletters.

The other thing is, most of our natives grow rather large.

But to catch your own fish instead of going to lfs ! Sod it moving to brazil Laughing

To be honest yes but then they could be classed as oddballs as only rainbow fish are in the family
