Excellent! They love dark, still, soft, acidic water with lots of plants - I wonder how you got this bright clean shot? What did you do for lighting?
Cheers

Excellent! What a great shot this would have been for the Fred Hollows Exhibition!

Thats a great image. Aquarium fish are incredibly difficult to shoot because of the technical challenges (like the fact you're shooting through water and dealing with all the refractive difficulties that entails) not to mention the little buggers rarely cooperate and stay still for you.
This is wonderfully lit and the composition is spot on. Superb.

Great shot and lovely colours, as Peter said not a easy subject to shoot either.

Thanks for this good feedback guys
For those interested the shot was taken using the Sigma 105mm macro lens on the D70.
Lighting was an SB800 in remote
mode positioned above the tank and triggered using the on board flash in commander
mode.
Cheers
