    Hi all

    So my brother in law came for a braai last weekend and brought his cameras and lenses along to take some pics of my fish. Most are still small but starting to look good I think.

    Thought I'd share them with you:

    @Swagasaurus a 1 ft tank, a sponge filter and a 25 watt heater is all you need... cheap cheap..

    Very nice.
    Are these the annual species? Or are they longer lived?

    The Nothos are annuals but in cooler tanks they can go for 18 months or more. The AA Orange lives longer.

    My BIL took the photos after much cursing and sweat!!! He is an outdoor/wildlife photographer (as a hobby) and has actually won numerous competitions with his photos.

    Go check out his website http://www.istudioafrica.com/index.html
