WOHOO!

Thanks all. That was a crazy ending...

And also to mention, this photo is a memorial. We lost our beloved "Mr. Bananas" about a month ago. Even for the super grumpy face, he was a cool fish to have!

Was shot just after feeding time, when he usually perched next to those AOG palys. His hole in the rockwork was right there, so I just sat and waited for him to pop out. This was shot with our Canon Digital Rebel XTi. Stock lens. f/5.6. Exposure 1/400. ISO-800. Shot was -1 step on "Aperture Priority". Only slightly touched up using "IrfanView" photo editor/resizer.

Congrats! Mr. Grumpygills is sad that he was just one vote away from being in the tiebreaker, but he says he can let it slide in honor of the late Mr. Bananas

 

[turtletrax624]

Thanks! Yeah, he was pretty grumpy...All the time.

he was around for quite a while, and I have to say, he held up well, Through two moves, and 3 0r 4 tank upgrades..

Lol thanks.

Unfortunately our clowns aren't hosting, and I have a feeling you guys will be submitting that other photo of your clowns hosting nems. (i saw it once before in some thread; amazing photo) .. So unless I can take a photo somewhere of clowns hosting that has a chance, I will probably stay out for this month

^ Or you could be like me and start a frantic attempt to get your clowns to host one of the many host-able things in your tank
