Chocolate mimic tang is the one that is brown and has the bright yellow/orange fins. The other, more gray fish, is a lieutenant tang.
Canon 5D mkII. What's funny is I took these pictures from about 12 feet across the room, I was goofing around with my 400mm lens. They turned out pretty good, all things considered. I'd rather use a macro but sometimes the fish get skittish when I get up in their faces so I thought I'd try this out. They werent even aware I was taking pictures

I need to upgrade my camera...
Eh, fish keeping is expensive enough without having to throw a new camera into the mix. The camera/lens combo I took this picture with is right at $4000... I didnt buy the camera for my fish, I do some photography on the side of my main job, so the camera/lens are a business expense that I use for personal use also, but I certainly wouldnt have dumped that kind of cash into a camera/lens just for my fish

You don't have to throw the "obese tangs" label to get us to look at your gorgeous, healthy, fish and great photography. Its great to see the term ''obese" used with something of beauty; instead of me or Rosie O'Donnell. My youngest daughter is getting really good at fish photos and I guess I'll have a site for mine soon. They don't measure up to Recty's; but not many do. They are better than this guy's are, though...:dance: http://www.petsolutions.com/storefr...tesplants-csaltwaterfish-ctriggerfish-p1.html
Edit: I think that's the best Clown Tang photo I've ever seen.

Well, you can easily get something for a lot less. You could use a T3i and a 50mm f/1.8 to get pretty stinking good fish pictures, all for around $800 or so
The clown and PBT get along just fine. I think the dynamic in the tank will change over time, the clown was so tiny compared to everyone and now he is the mid size tang, pretty soon I'm sure he will be the big tang in the tank. As that happens, I have no doubt to see the pecking order shift. Right now he still acts like a 1.5" fish.
Thanks! I agree, they are beautiful and they sure seem healthy. I plan on keeping them that way, QT QT QT.
NLS pellets and flakes, Ocean Nutrition One and Two, flakes and pellets of both. Also about a 6" x 6" square of nori every couple days. Once in a blue moon I feed mysis. I used to feed it a lot more but I've pretty much stopped once I ran out a couple months ago
The fish dont seem to need it or care, when I put in mysis and pellets, they eat the pellets first so that's a good enough reason for me to stop.High praise. Good luck to your daughter, she will enjoy photography I bet. I wish I had gotten into it when I was younger.
That clown tang photo? I almost didnt post it, it's blurry as all get out but I liked it because he actually had his fins flared for once. That literally never happens, so I snapped the shot as quick as I could and I just got what I could

It is pretty funny. What I've noticed about the powder blue is he only gets fat up front in the whole digestive system area, which actually makes me think "unhealthy" when I see it. The other tangs all get fat all over their bodies and keep the sleek, streamlined look. The PBT is just looking fat. And what's making me not like the look so much is that the rest of his body is definitely not skinny (that's why I included a side shot) but it's just no where near as fat as all the rest of the tangs. He's really not putting on tons of weight like the other fish. I'd suspect worms, but I did treat with Prazi twice... although I might at some point try a more direct internal deworming solution.
Yep, you've asked me 3 or 4 times now it seems
It just keep answering the same thing, I havent changed my feeding for years, all I end up doing is buying larger size pellets as the fish mature.Agreed, it is pretty funny to watch. I just hope it's healthy.
Thanks!
Me too. Amazing amount of growth going on, he's really put on size. I can tell he is going through another growth spurt right now, he was the same length as the powder blue (although not as tall) and about three weeks later he is now a good half inch longer at least. His body is thicker too except in the digestive area where the powder blue definitely has everyone else beat.

No problem. I wish my zebrosoma had survived the tank move, they were fun to take pictures of and some nice looking fish.
I keep being tempted to post pictures of my pregnant wife in this thread, but I'm sure she would find out somehow.

Go ahead. Women just glow at that times in their lives; I's sure she would be fine with it. (Can I have your camera stuff before she lists it on e-Bay?)
