So this is a picture of my adopted Gold Marbled Angelfish. A friend of mine had decided to turn her tank into a SW setup so I got the privilege of re-homing this beauty. It is currently housed in a 29gal planted tank along with some pristella tetras and GBR's. Here's a few more pics of the setup...

The camera I used is my Nikon Coolpix 4600. Lighting is tank lighting only (without any other room lights on), tripod mounted, no flash and using the macro feature on my camera. I also like to use the timer (so I can avoid shaking the camera when pushing the button) and I usually mess with the shutter speed (bracketing) so I can get the proper exposure. I like the way the bubbles turned out in the picture. They were there because I had just performed a water change prior to taking these pics. Thanks for looking and thanks for voting for me.
