Altolamprologus compressiceps (Orange Fin) PICS

We are making progress today: turned the tank lights on and they immediately came over to the feeding spot with dorsal fins erect. I got these pics within two minutes when it took me 20 minutes before. Their color was a little faded due to not being adjusted to the tank lights yet. The perfect shot is closer and I hope to get it tonight.

BTW: I made the image sizes larger, so please click on the images to see in full size.

Colors a bit faded - if I can catch the fish at more of a angle vs straight on side shot, then I can get the sparkle spots on them to glow! So, we are almost at "full finnage," color was a bit faded, and a little bit more of an angle. We are almost there ;)

Color getting a little better (starting to adjust to the lights) - could use a more anngled shot. Also, pic is out of focus.

Color getting slightly darker with each shot, little bit of an angle however, they were further back - would like closer to the glass. Still liking the improvement :) I love the sparkle spots on the smaller female - I just need to capture it on camera now :)

Stunning photos once again. And the color commentary to go with them - gotta love it. :thumbsup:
 
OK, I've gone picture crazy - somebody help me.

Here's the full finnage shot I want only no boulder in the way and not in the back of the tank. Like the green lip though :)

Really great pics, Razzo! :clap:
 
Sweet so i picked up 6 today but they are small.. Pict's soon..
 
Well i spent too much money as usual here is what i bought 6 Altolamp Comp's Orange fin 2" $40.00 1 Lepidio Nkambe wild 6" $20.00 and a Pair of Altolamp Comp's wild Yellow M/F 3" - 5" $80.00 not too bad but still received some nice fish..

Those Ink fins were so tiny i didn't bother with them, I will try for a pair of adult Ink fins in time..

Most excellent Pitt!

Do you have a rough collection point on the yellow comps? I am curious to see what they look like.

I'd like a group of wild inkfin.

My obsession can stop. I got a pic that I am happy with.

It was fun trying to get it.

Now for a new obsession - any suggestions?
