From Parc Aquarium du Québec - unknown fish.  Anyone have any ideas - there were no signs on the tank.

Here is my panduro male, showing off for the camera.  For a fish, he can be a little bit of a ham, but he knows he's pretty!

My new Firefish. 
Still playing with the camera settings... having a hard time capturing the color without washing out the white.

Here is some reflective photography.  My wife took this one by accident but since I like it I thought I would enter it here.

After working with these beauties, and I have been told that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, for about six months I have witnessed prespawning activities in my Erethistes Pusillus.
And yes I did clean my glass, those little flakes are kicked up sand, they can get rough with each other as the male tries to pin the female down into the sand.

I guess I'm a bit late, but the APW hasn't locked the forum yet...
Orca and baby at Marineland. I don't know if this is attention-seeking behaviour or if the baby is trying to encourage a milk let-down from the mother.
