The first angle pic is one of your best pics

Your pics are always top shelf

Always a treat

I've been meaning to ask you... how is it that your backgrounds are always so utterly black? It's like your fish are floating in space. How do you accomplish that?

I have black back grounds on the tanks. I use a flash unit or two on top of the tanks. When the flashes fire they create a cone of light, like a spot light on the subject. Every thing not in the light looks black.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Yes sure beats my pics of an oscar stunned by a cheezy flash reflecting on the front glass blocking half the view of my stick up Amazon background.
