Specifics of the photograph and tank
Well, this is my 2 year old Green Mandarin Goby (Pterosynchiropus splendidus - I love how the word splendid is in his name). Anyway, this is one of my very favorite fish and his name is Mr. Pfan C. Pants. As the contest winner, I must admit, he deserves al the credit. He is my most photogenic fish.
I actually took this photo of him in order to have a source for a painting I was doing. I love painting fish and ocean scenes and he has such beautiful, almost unbelievable colors, I just had to immortalize him on the canvas.
This shot was taken with my Nikon D40X SLR and was with only natural daylight and the aquarium lights, no flash.
What else can I say.... I am so proud and thank everyone who voted for Mr. Pants.
