I found the macro setting on my camera and got super excited! Sorry for the reflections. I guess its because my glass (on the outside) is *too* clean. I have a microfiber cloth just for it and I wipe the tank like 2x a day. I can't stand to see fingerprints/smudges -_- Oh well. Enjoy the pics. there's almost 30 of them! Slideshow Thumbnail View
I do! My camera just is really slow at taking the picture in that mode, so if they move, the pictures blur I have to stalk them for FOREVER before I get good pics. Lol.
What kind of camera did you use and what are those two other fishies? I've seen them before, they're so cute. :] And I'm guessing your betta doesn't mind their company?
The camera I have is a finepix f20. Its an old camera I think. The other fish are corydoras catfish. The type I have are Julii cories but there are many other varieties. My betta will follow them around on occasion but he usually acts like there not even there. He did flare at them when I was floating their bag but he left them alone after a minute or so.
@nocho If you have light adjustment on the camera, you can try turning the aperture so it lets in less light/stays open less time. I have shaky hands so if I use the macro setting, I have to turn the light down. Feh!
Those pics are beautiful. And I love the video. He's SO cute.
nope the driftwood was purchased as is. It has a pretty cool unique shape. Now I actually think of it as Pride Rock (lion king anyone?) No it really does look like pride rock lol
If you aren't already, put the lens directly against the glass. You'll get less reflection. The photos are beautiful btw
Thanks! heres what I have:
Aquatic plants: Java fern, and hygrophila
Surface plants: Pothos and Arrowhead. They are kept in position using some heater brackets I found at petco.
Then I added the driftwood and the big rock (now replaced by a dinosaur skull cave) and clumped some river rocks in groups of twos and threes.
Both the surface plants now have big long roots. Especially the arrowhead plant, it grew so many that I decided to move it to the other side of the tank so it doesnt get tangled with the pothos.
All the fish are doing well. Unfortunately my betta is in a hospital tank as he has started tail biting. Will update with more pics once I get him back in the 10 gal and when I buy more plants. I want one more surface plant and also want to try out water wisteria and anubias.
The tank looks great. sorry about the tail-biting... Does that sponge baffle the filter effectively? I have the same filter, but am using the homemade water-bottle baffle that kim posted.
