Dojo head shots

Post by crazy loaches » Sun Jan 28, 2007 11:09 pm

Just thought this picture came out half way decent so thought I would post it. Still havent got an slr so dont expect eye poping detail! But decent none the less.

And dont be worried of the spot on its eye, its actually the remenants of some GSA on the glass, I verified it with some other pics I took in the same location (was a bit worried at first!).

At first I was worried that the flourite gravel might be harsh on them but after a while never did see any signs that the gravel was scraping them or anything, no warn barbels best I can tell. Then again most the tank bottom is covered in plants except a few spots which act like passages for them.

Martin, that was my first thought to 'photoshop' it, but I was feeling rather lazy lol. One of these days I'll try to razor blade the GSA remenents off, but like I said, I am lazy!

I took one of the regular 'weather fish' dojo today as well.

its interesting the spotted dojo's barbels are much longer than the golden dojo, all of mine are this way so one isnt just worn down or anything.
