gorgeous fish and fantastic shots... what's more to ask? maybe your secret?:
I don't really have a secret. I've been doing photography for a few years now. I use a Canon Powershot G10 14.7MP camera most of the time. I just love photographing my fish and they obviously like the attention. Lol. The rams are the easiest for me to get pictures of.
Its a Polypterus Senegalus a.k.a Senegal Bichir or as PetSmart labels them "Dinosaur Bichirs." Lol. I looooooooooove him. He's so awesome. I got the smallest one they had since I'll need a much bigger tank for him in the future. He's about 3". They're usually the easiest bichir's to find. I've only seen one Ornate in a LFS and the place was a dump. I felt bad for the little guy. The Ornate's are GORGEOUS. They get super huge tho. I can't afford a tank big enough for one of those guys. Lol.
Wow! They're awesome though, I'd kill to get one (not literally), maybe in the future, when I can get a big tank 
Do you keep anything with yours?

Yep. He's in the 40 right now with my severum, 2 german blue rams and pleco. I had to move the 3 pygmy cories out, even when he got big enough to eat them it would be bad for both fish. So I moved them out. He minds his own business. He's still warming up to the tank and will only come out when he smells food. He loves the bubble strip tho. I've seen him swim thru it a few times. You can always get one like I have. Like I said they're the easiest to find. There are MANY different species of the Polys : http://www.polypterus.info/
Once they get big enough tho, they're eat whatever they can fit in their mouth. Lol. Mine will probably only reach 8-9", but if I feed him well enough who knows.
