My new boy oberon

[Moshann]

Afraid it's not a very good picture - tried to take some more but he got fed up with it and flounces off every time I approach his tank with the camera. He is actually a beautiful shade of royal blue. Have had him since the end of July and was sold him as a halfmoon. However he seems to think he is a bit of a crown tail as well! Is there a name for this? Any suggestions?

well he looks crownish....Take another picture carefully so we can see his body better....also try leaving a mirror on the side so you can get a shot with his fins flared :)

OK will keep trying - he really doesn't want to co-operate (keeps moving about too much). Not interested in the mirror but that could be because the tank is a biorb which is curved and could be distorting the image too much. Will try and get one to go in the tank :)

hope you get a good pictures

keeeep trying, some just behave shy...

[Moshann]

Thanks - it could take some time because he's definitely got wise to the camera and just sulks at the back of the tank when he sees it. He doesn't seem frightened of it, just doesn't like it, but I will keep trying because I'm determined to get some good pictures of him! :)
