Great Pics, and just to make a point. I used to reply with 'I need a good camera..', so i bought one.... it still took me months and months to take half decent pics. Now i can take very good ones of my tank with a point and shoot....Credit to the photographer, these a very good images, showing good technique and thanks for sharing them.

Had some good news today. Some of my images are going to be published soon!. Tropical Fish Hobbyist magazine will be featuring some of my clownfish fry images, not sure when it will be printed. Also they will also be published in a book on breeding clownfish-which should be out in June.

Thanks Neil. Some nice flickr pics you have there too. I assume Lorna is a relation? Stunning eyes-and very photogenic, as she appears very relaxed and comfortable with her photograph being taken. Wish I could find a model such as her-need to build on my portfolio and struggling to find subjects!

Hi Matt,

Nice getting the pictures in the book, make sure that bring the book over to mine next time you are down. I will order up acopy too I think.
It is good to know that My clown fish are famous now, who would have thought that the Fry pictures would end up being published, they are cracking pictures :applause::applause:

I forgot to mention to you that they are still laying eggs regular as clockwork. I am planning later down the line to have another go.

Hi Matt,

Great pictures mate:worship::worship:, Not sure if I have seen them before or not. But I will have to copy them to my files:laugh:.

My Clown fish are still with me, and still lay eggs every 12-14 days. Even in my temp tank, I see fry every so often in the sump. I will have to have another go once my new tank is ready.
