Yeah, I did that after the fact. Oh well.

Bump. My photo is not as good as many tanks in the contest, but maybe it’ll win as the underdog ?

Instead of pulling to be the underdog maybe make it a goal!

some tips, take pics in a dark room, only get the tank in the shot ie: remove candy from in front of your tank or crop them out of frame, take pics on the day or the day after a water change, clean your glass inside and out, make sure there’s no reflections from lights behind the camera, add a background (even if it’s just for the pic), play with lighting, wait for your fish to swim through the frame, and take lots of pics!

....and also, it helps if you are a professional photographer with a $1000 DSLR camera and you have bichirs!!

And of course a bit of luck too, lol.
