My first Seahorse, Colt. Rest his little pony soul He passed away after refusing to eat when his mate died from a Vibrio infection. This photo has also appeared in the ThatPetPlace Catalog.

 

[Eric]

Does that fish place still hook you up when they use your photos?

I thought the gift certificates were a nice bonus to having your picture displayed in the catalog I personally never submited a photo for consideration but a friend of mine did and they hooked him up pretty decent.

Anyways, Great pics everyone

I was so mad because I was under the impression that if you get in the magazine, you get a gift card but they only ended up giving one person who got in it the gift card lol. That someone was not me. That was a bummer.:smack: It was still pretty exciting to have my pony in the magazine anyways.

Hey, dont laugh...its the first attempt at this....after snapping over 200 times in that tank, me and the fish called it quits with this one.

 

[Eric]

Looks Great!

This is my first submission to this contest…..

This is our Copper Banded Butterfly. He just relocated into my new 75 gal bow front reef…. He has tremendous personality…. and leaves all corals alone….thus far. After numerous photos….. I liked this one because he just kind of hangs there… next to the reefscape we are developing with mushrooms, a toadstool and red Montipora frag.

Here's mine, My BSJF yawns many times a day or at least it looks that way. When he opens up he doubles the size of his head.

 

[Eric]

Looks like he's yelling at you to keep your hand out of his tank. lol

 

[Dweezil]

Great pictures everyone! This is going to be a tough one

 

[seafansar]

I think my CBB was getting tired of me following him back and forth across the tank! But I did manage to get a couple close ups that weren't blurry.

I thought this one was cool too.

 

[Eric]

Seafansar I like the first pic best

 

[SecretAgent]

Yes, I agree....first pic is cool....looks like your fish is in space....check out the rock, looks like a moon rock....Pretty cool I think....All you need to do is superimpose a space suit on the fish and you got a fish in space...=)
