    These two Ocellaris Clownfish are a pair I got recently, they are my most definitely "Pampered fish"!!
    Currently they are hosting a green frilly mushroom. During the day its about 4 inches across, plenty of room for the
    both of them. At night it shrinks down so small that they are usually glued to each other, or the male hangs just
    off to the side as he is in these.

    I spent the better part of tonight trying to get these pictures. It wasn't made any easier by my subjects either.
    Kind of hard to get them to sit still, kind of like getting a kid to sit still at photographer's.

    My lights were off, so I used a Led flashlight to illuminate the area enough to raise the shutter speed
    so they were not to grainy, which I think worked out okay.

    Looks great... fish and pics!! Much better than the pics I have taken... I have to work on that. Once my tank is cycled I want to get something for my clowns to host in, it has to be one of the coolest looking things!!!

    Ha, right there with you ... not allowed to touch my wife's either!

    GREAT shots though...I love clowns. I have a male/female and they are my favorites. Hoping to get a frogspawn soon for them to host in.

    Great pics dude, Im going to try that led flashlight trick. This is not the first time I hear this "trick" being used. Maybe my pics will come out better. Thanks. Karma
