It must be the Photographer i think!

i thought that was faya! i was like precious? o well, must be a different one that looks like her... BTW bauk, did you see kukahs good morning eyes on your post yet? his are pretty too

Just some hints. Focus, focus, focus. Get a tripod or something to stand your camera on & wait for the puffer to swim by a nice part of the tank. Anticipate before he's going to swim into the pic--digital has a shutter lag. Don't take pics of a corner of your tank, unless you want a cute reflective pic (like him looking at himself). Get a close up or crop those pics!!! We don't want to see a big pic with a tiny puffer in it. And most importatly--take a ton of pics. I can't tell you now many pictures I take only to get one good one!

lots of lighting and clean glass helps a lot too....

My apologies bauk, you sent in the entry with "my Precious" and since it was capitalized I assumed that was the name of the fish

I have to say that Faya (#4) stole my heart. She's so cute with those anime, "love me" eyes!

Yeah I had to go for Faya, I just liked the way she was looking at the camera, although I did laugh at the caption for Sushi ("I hope the hand doesn't find me") -- that was funny. And I have to agree with PufferPunk on her point about taking loads of photos. I took 55 pictures last night, and I ended up deleting 20 of them immediately, mostly because they were too blurry, but that's not to say that the remainders were very good. I end up with only one or two really good photos in all those that I take, but still not as good as some of the people on this forum have done.

I think it was David Letterman (who may have been quiting someone else), while shaking his head ..."pets and kids!" Referring as to how difficult and unpredictable they can be.

Congratulations Sushi!
