ccplim,
Very nice. I would recommend using lower aperture for higher DOF.

Awwwww... He's cute!
Thanks Finz! He looks cute but can be a real monster sometimes.
Can you believed that these guys will actually try to have a bite on everything you have in your tank? I have a few bichirs with damaged fins and tails due to him and guessed what! He even managed to crush the sensor of my digital PH meter [smilie=fear2.gif] [smilie=oops2.gif]

You mean, you don't see any of this in your local LFS?

Hehe.... he is really as greedy as a pig [smilie=lol.gif] My bichirs are all so skinny because of him snatching all their food [smilie=sad.gif]

ccplim,

Thanks Jay. I'll try that on my next shooting. When I was taking those shots, the lighting was actually very weak and I might be using auto mode with the flash bouncing off from a white card (got to check my EXIF as I couldn't remember the settings already).
Hey bro, didn't know you got a FRT, how old is it??

Huh?? Though I have posted that in af.com some time back? Maybe you didn't notice it [smilie=mf_tongue.gif] [smilie=lol.gif] Actually, I got 3 of them [smilie=mf_prop.gif]
This was the one that I like best previously.

I am not very sure about its real age but I got it for about a year already. When it first came, the shell size was only about 1.5 inches but when I pick it up last evening, I was surprised to see that it is now about 4.5 inches in size [smilie=fear2.gif] (it doesn't look so big when you watch it from outside the tank).
He is SO cute! I've never seen one of those! [smilie=laugh.gif]

Nope, never seen one until now.

Gosh! I guessed there might be some around but it is truly a rare find for you guys (and i believed the price will not be cheap too if you are able to get one). These turtles were very popular over here last year but due to many irresponsible owners, they are now banned and cannot be put on sale in LFS.
Hehe, bro, you gotta have a pond someday for your bichirs and PNTs. [smilie=biggrin.gif]

PNT maybe but surely not for my bichirs. I am currently having plans to get a 3.5x2x2 for my bichirs (wanted a 4x2x2 but couldn't make it due to space constrain). 3.5 is the max I can go (with some allowance for me to have access to the tank).
