Some Tetras shots...

Postby AQUASAUR » Fri Sep 29, 2006 9:42 pm

Yeah, it’s good if everybody can keeps his Rainbows tank biotope closer to Australian… :idea:
I like these specimens much, but my big love are Discus fishes
and all others (Rainbows,Tetras,Cyprinidae,Catfish…)are almost additional… :wink:
I don’t recommend my way of keeping fish to anyone! It’s just my way…
and here is not a word about breading, selling or trading nuance!
If some people keep additional fish like Tetras,
the next of my favorites tetra’s photo series may be interesting:

That how look my Nematobrycon Palmeri – The Emperor’s Tetra:

Image


May be the first important thing to say, is that, why they call it “The Emperor’s Tetra”…
Here is the answer:


Image


Of course, the male “brings the heavy crown” and often flaunt it and his colorfully dress…


Image


The female is looking quite modest…


Image


The other typical feature is their blue eyes – so magnificent and so hard to take a good shot on it using a flash…


Image


May be some of you hadn’t seen the Black (purple) cousin of the Palmeri, who is enough expressive too:


Image


To All keepers of that beautiful fish – don’t forget! They got very evil teeth…:twisted: ...Image

I am quite a fan of the Tetra's! We have a community tank with Congo's, neon, cardinal, black neon, rummy nose, serpae and glowlights!

Hey, Pals
Can you say at once – what is that fish “BATMAN”Image Image

Image

:D Image :roll: :D









OK, I’m just joking… it’s easy guess –rotate the pic on 180 degrees and that is:

Image

and if somebody wondering still, what is that fish …
the answer is - Toracocharax Securis (from Central American’s area)

Image

and that’s another more popular its cousin(from PERU) - Carnegiella Strigata:

Image

Here they are schooling in the tank, mostly under water surface area…

Image

So, in that kind of looking…these fishes are not much impressive…
But I had trying to get some close up macro shots and catch some magnificent fascination of them…
sometimes almost transparently…other time - distracting the lights by unique way…Image


Image

Image

Image

They haven’t so horrible teeth…but it’s not quite harmless…;)

Wow.

Love the hatchetfish shots. I've always thought they were cool fish. I've never really seen much of them in fish shops here. Do they jump a lot? I've read somewhere that some species can even glide short distances above the water on their pectoral fins like flying fish.

The Black Tetra(Gymnocorymbus ternetzi) is not quite colorful or photogenic fish...but I hope you'll like this couple shots of mine Ternetzi pair:

They're not exactly Tetras, but may be some of their cousins...and more spectacular Dancers,though...
