Hi, Pals !
I'm sure, here is enough fans of those kind of Australian's fishes…
So, let me beginning with one of the popular ones â€" Melanotaenia Boesemani:

M. Boesemany male

M.Boesemani female

and a few "combat" spreading...

Very nice pictures and great fish too. You're keeping these guys with discus right? How is that mix working out for you? Just curious as I'm trying the same thing.

 

[ddaquaria]

Great - as usual :thumb:

Great collection Aquasaur. The second from the bottom is very cool...what did it take to get them in line

 

[AQUASAUR]

Thanks, dshort!
Yes, that combination â€" Discus/Rainbows/Tetras… works very successfully and harmonic since last 10 years in my tanks… :!:
You had seen yet one of my biggest tank:
(The others smaller and similar tanks like that, you will see in my next posts…)

Thanks, Aaron!

Yeah, it’s easy to get them in line…if just argument them with some “gooood reasonâ€

 

[Verse914]

haha. The last two are better than the first set imo...they are sharper on the eye.

 

[AQUASAUR]

Yes, Aaron, The last two are better than the first set, because it’s just a not cropped close ups…
You know â€" it’s every millimeter closer to fish, shooting macro, giving much more details and sharpness…:idea:
Here is a curious compares between some shots of mine, made with CANON 350D Kit lens (the first 5 photos)
and the last shots with Canon 50 mm/f2.5 Macro (the last 4 photos)

Glossolepis Incisus

That is a fragment of my other Discus/Rainbow tank.
As you see â€" there is just a free “plant jungleâ€

 

[cuddlefish]

Aquasaur, it's such a pleasure to enjoy your wonderful fish and breathtaking photography. Thank you so much for sharing.

 

[Rift485]

Unbelivable fish and photos! Top notch!!!!

 

[AQUASAUR]

Thanks for the complimets...!

Hey, Pals, can You guess â€" Who is that “Raging Bullâ€

 

[ophelia]

The 'Discus Background' picture, the first one, is a work of art. I would love to have a framed print of it.

 

[AQUASAUR]

Thank you, Ophelia !

Ok, then let me scare your mind with other different “evilâ€

 

[Rift485]

Wow I love it! I think I just found my Halloween costume for next year! :lol:

 

[AQUASAUR]

That fish has really such a diferent faces...
For some "Big Experts" it's just a cheap,nondescript... Hybrid !
But I’m glad to have that fish in my Discus/Rainbows tanks!
Will be curious to know, seeing next pictures, who will be disagree with me about his beauty…!?

 

[AQUASAUR]

Talking about their magnificent colors… continuing with some typical rainbows changing colors of Melanotaenia Trifasciata:

May be the compares between this two close up of those male are significant:

And that is a females close up, much modest in coloration than the males…

 

[Rift485]

I always wondered why people liked Rainbows so much... Until now! Yours are by far the nicest looking I've ever seen, in person or on the internet!

 

[Ofir]

The rainbow-discus pictures are some of the best fish pictures I've ever seen!!
Great job, and great fish!

[AQUASAUR]

Thank you, Pals!

OK, Continuing with another two present shots of my Melanotaenia Splendida Splendida:

 

[AQUASAUR]

The next Rainbow specimen is not grow up bigger like more others,
but its jewels body is quite expressive…

Melanotaenia Papuae:

Here is a try to catch one macro fragment of these jewels beauty:
