    My fish usually stop and flare their colors near feeding time when i'm around the tank.

    Wish i waited before taking my pic,my firemouths usually flare up their green and blue spots on their fins and their stripes go pitch black.If they are close to eachother they also flare up their gills.

    thanks @Hawk
    they eat insects and small fish , related to arrowanas. ive fed him guppies before well i presume he was the one who ate them cause they went poof and i dont think the congo tetras ate them , he does take flake food , dont wanna rely on that solely so hoping to go buy him some crickets or meal worms soon oh and he likes his brine shrimp to. @DewaldC

    Here is an awesome tip i found when taking pics of fish with lots of colours.

    Take the pic from a angled top view,the light from the fishtank lights will bounce of the scales in the camera's direction making the fish look more colorful and vibrant.

    Hey @FishLover.

    I should be able to help you take better shots, but first.
    What camera do you have? is it just a 'mik en druk', cellphone or DSLR?

    Hope you answer is the last one.
