took this shot of my oldest fish recently - had it for about 4 yrs now. Really tough subject this as it moves like lightning and is pretty shy. Avoiding over saturating colours was also difficult while representing the glow of the fish under actinics.

very nice pic! This is my favorite fish. I have 2 in my tank that spawn regularly. Which is cool except because of this I only see one of them most of the time. I had 3 and 2 paired up the 3rd was exiled :(
 
szwab, did you simply put three in and hope that the law of averages would work in your favor for m/f? Also, do they get aggressive when they are a mated pair? Thanks.

Great picture by the way. I know fish are so difficult to get face on.
